Windows 11 VM Password in Credential Manager sometimes fails to unlock encrypted guest

VMware Workstation Pro 17 Evaluation Version

Host: Windows 11 Pro 64 BIT

Guest: Windows 11 Pro 64 BIT

When creating Windows 11 guest VM I ticked the box "Remember the password on this machine in Credential Manager". This creates an entry in Credential Manager but the guest fails to unlock the encrypted guest from time to time and requests to type in the Password and offers to store it in Credential Manager. This creates yet another enty with "{some-hexadecimal-numbers}". I tried to clean them up when they hit a half of a dozen entries.

Is it a bug or a feature that I don't understand, yet?

What ist the expected behaviour with stored passwords?

One entry per VM?

Many entries per VM if so, how many?

Thanks.
