 Manage stored login credentials for platform submission.
 
-Credentials are stored under _credentials in the main cache file
-(stdpath('data')/cp-nvim.json). Use :CP cache read to inspect them.
+Credentials are stored via git-credential(1), using whatever credential
+helper is configured in your git config (macOS Keychain, libsecret,
+credential-store, etc.). Git is required. Cookie files
+(~/.cache/cp-nvim/cookies.json) are unaffected.
