Hi I know about the normal Credential Provider api, but is there an api for the Hello type providers? Eg:

  1. Windows Hello Face
  2. Windows Hello Fingerprint
  3. Windows Hello PIN
  4. Picture Password

How does someone create a provider like that?

Thanks

  • Have a look carefully how they do enrolment - initially they ask you for your existing credentials. Later after verifying PIN (or smth else) push out saved credentials. – Alexander Jul 08 '20 at 10:07
  • I think I get how they work in the background, but how do you create one? does it impl ICredentialProvider? if not, how does logonui know how to load / display it? – chup Jul 08 '20 at 12:52
  • `Windows Hello` is back-end UI to control behaviour of this 4 CP's. When you enrols one of the Hello's method of logon the corresponding CP starts to enumerating one tile with **your account name** - this is designed as implementation of Credential Providers V2. – Alexander Jul 08 '20 at 13:05
  • Winlogon every time present a list of available users and asks all of CP's "How many tiles do yo have to enumerate **NOW**?". Every CP report the number and later the tiles. Every tile is then asked "what is your account **SID**?" If the sid is compared with one of accounts the tile image of this CP is arranged under accounts name. – Alexander Jul 08 '20 at 13:15
