File extension PWL description:
Whenever you log into a Windows, Windows creates a file with a .pwl extension. This file contains your username and password, in a format that can be recognized only by the operating system (i.e., your password's security is not compromised). Windows can then use this information as needed, especially in instances (such as Dial-up Networking) in which you check a Remember Password option.

Microsoft Windows is a family of operating systems by Microsoft. They can run on several types of platforms such as servers, embedded devices and, most typically, on personal computers. Microsoft first introduced an operating environment named Windows in November 1985 as an add-on to MS-DOS in response to the growing trend of graphical user interfaces (GUI) popularized by the Macintosh. Microsoft Windows eventually came to dominate the world's personal computer market.
