How can penetration testers extract plaintext passwords from Domain Credentials stored in the Windows Credential Manager?

Plaintext passwords for Domain Credentials can be extracted using the mimikatz tool with the `sekurlsa::logonpasswords` command, which displays credential information at the credman location. Mimikatz can also extract plaintext passwords for Generic Credentials, but it cannot extract those saved by Internet Explorer. For IE‑stored Generic Credentials, the Get‑VaultCredential.ps1 PowerShell script from PowerSploit is effective.
