I can't seem to find any information on using 'winstore' as a credential saving option on Windows. The link is outdated.

With the default Git for Windows 2.6.1, when I run git help -a like the docs tell you to, it shows "crendential-wincred".
https://git-scm.com/docs/gitcredentials

GitHub recommends to use "wincred" as well:
