5377: Credential Manager credentials were restored from a backup
On this page
Credential Manager is the stored passwords feature in Windows that allows Windows to remember passwords for websites, shared folders, VPNs, etc. From Control Panel\User Accounts\Manage your network passwords you can backup these stored credentials and/or restore them. This event is logged when you restore them.
Windows 2019 introduces version 1 of this event which includes a new field, "BackupFileName".
