Description
On windows it defaults to using this provider so when I run docker login sensitive info isn't saved to the config.json. This is good but I need to disable it, I need these creds to be plain text to support a specific service.
This is very frustrating because I can't find any info on how to disable wincred (or even uninstall it). There has to be a way to turn it off temporarily so I can generate a config.json with my creds in plain text.

Research direction
Start with the docker login flow and the config.json credential-helper behavior on Windows, focusing on how wincred is selected. Determine the supported way to disable it temporarily and verify that the requested service can produce a config.json containing plain-text credentials.
