What generates credstore and credstore.encrypted directories?

I started getting /etc/credsore and /etc/credstore.encrypted directories where there were none before but somehow pacman says it's not owned by any package.
Is there a way of finding out what program generates these directories? I actually experimented on deleting them but they came back.

Seem to be owned/created by systemd...

There's also this: https://systemd.io/CREDENTIALS/
If it is owned by systemd, how come when I run pacman -Qo /etc/credstore, pacman returns no owner? Surely shouldn't this be tracked by pacman?
