show-credential was designed to be used on the controllers only - on a local system, you can look up credentials.yaml. It says so fairly explicitly in the command help.

However, there is future work lined up where there will no longer be a distinction between a credential command that operates on local store - 'add-credential', 'set-default-credential', 'remove-credential', 'credentials' - and a command that operates on the controller.

I am removing this from a milestone as it may not make this cut.
