Essay grammar problem

0Hi,02br
02br
00I'm writing an essay and came across this problem:02br
02br
00I'm talking about my "login credentials" (username and password) for a web site. No problems here.02br
02br
00Then I have: "Retrieval of login credentials". No problems yet.02br
02br
00Here comes the tough part:02br
02br
00I want to put "Retrieval of login credentials" in the direct form:02br
02br
00"Login credential retrieval" or "Login credentials retrieval"02br
02br
00Which one is correct?02br
02br
00I don't know if it is correct, but I prefer the first form as there are no "s" 'es.02br
02br
00Thank you0-

0Hi,02br 02br 00You could say it either way, but I prefer "Login credential01font 00s 02font 00retrieval". 02br 02br 00The phrase 'login credentials' gets a reasonable number of google hits. However, I'm not familiar with it as something that a system would 'retrieve'.
