Add winlogon login method using C # and YubiKey

Question

As for personal fun and problems, I wanted to add a way to enter my personal computers. Everyone is currently using Windows 7.

Usually this will use ICredentialProvider or something like that. Basically the goal here is to have 2 ways to log in, a regular user / password one and an alternative (mine) with Yubikey.

Is there where I could find some resources on how to achieve this using C #?

Answer 1

There is an article about using a custom credential provider here , and there are some examples here . However, I believe that you need to implement your own credential provider in your own code, which usually means C / C ++. Examples are given in C.

You should probably do some searches before completing the task. Keep in mind that GINA is an old Windows login mechanism and has been removed from Windows with Vista (so you can ignore articles about it).
