credential-manager

I want to implement frictionless sign in process for my web app. After some searching, I have found that there are two solutions available : Google Smart Lock . Credential Managment API . My question is , What is the difference between the two API's (if any) and what are the possible use cases for both of these. From what I have understood, both allow us to save account related info. But the advantage with smart lock is, that saved credentials can be used in corresponding android apps as well. Thanks ! Note : I intend to support login from multiple sources (google, facebook, linkedin etc.) ,

I build a C# program, to be run on Windows 10. I want to send emails from this program (calculation results) by just pressing a button.

Can that be done? If so, how (generally)? I was thinking of putting all that e-mail information, including an encrypted password for the server in a data file to be read during startup of the program. Or maybe Windows 10
