Which menu path in Wireshark would you use to manage credentials?

• A. Edit → Preferences
• B. View → Preferences
• C. Analyze → Options
• D. Tools → Credentials

Answer: (D)

Managing credentials in Wireshark is handled in a dedicated place so you can store usernames and passwords for protocols that require authentication and have Wireshark supply them automatically during analysis. Opening Tools → Credentials brings up the credential manager, where you can add, edit, or delete entries tied to specific servers or protocols. This centralizes authentication data in one secure location, separate from general settings, which is why this path is the correct choice. Other menus control broader preferences or analysis options but don’t provide the focused credential-management interface.
