==Use of DPAPI by Microsoft software==
While not universally implemented in all Microsoft products, the use of DPAPI by Microsoft products has increased with each successive version of Windows. However, many applications from Microsoft and third-party developers still prefer to use their own protection approach or have only recently switched to use DPAPI. For example, [[Internet Explorer]] versions 4.0–6.0, [[Outlook Express]] and [[MSN Explorer]] used the older Protected Storage (PStore) API to store saved credentials such as passwords etc. [[Internet Explorer&nbsp;7]] now protects stored user credentials using DPAPI.<ref>{{cite web | url=httphttps://wwwcommunity.symantecbroadcom.com/connectsymantecenterprise/articlescommunities/passwordcommunity-managementhome/librarydocuments/viewdocument?DocumentKey=cd572045-0dfe-4b49-concerns9df6-ie578cbc441ce5&CommunityKey=1ecf5f55-and9545-firefox44d6-partb0f4-one4e4a7f5f5e68&tab=librarydocuments | title=Password Management Concerns with IE and Firefox, part one | author=Mikhael Felker | date=December 8, 2006 | access-date=2010-03-28 | publisher=[[SecurityFocus.com]], [[Symantec.com]]}}</ref>
