Source

Credential Source are used to link entries to OTP account credential information.

Current session's credentials

The Current session's credentials options will use the OTP credentials setup in the entry Common - General - Credentials section. Credentials options available with OTP are My personal credentials, My privileged account and Embedded (this mode is deprecated and not recommended).

In a team environment, we recommend using the Linked (vault) option instead with a One Time Password (OTP) credential entry.
