CodeB Credential Provider V2

Windows Credential Providers are the cornerstone of user authentication, serving as the exclusive method for users to validate their identity for logon and other system authentication scenarios. With the advent of Windows 10 and the introduction of Microsoft Passport, credential providers have become even more crucial, extending their use for authentication into apps, websites, and beyond.

​

Microsoft provides a variety of credential providers as part of Windows, such as password, PIN, smartcard, and Windows Hello (Fingerprint, Face, and Iris recognition). But what if you need more functionality?

CodeB Credential Provider

Go for the CodeB Credential Provider. Seamlessly integrated into Windows, it allows users to logon to Windows using CodeB Identities and connect to shares or remote machines. The integrated filter enables users to hide unwanted system credential providers for additional security.

USB Memory Stick Logon

For evaluation purposes, the CodeB Credential Provider supports not only CodeB Self-Sovereign Identities but also plain USB Memory Sticks as Logon Tokens.

 

Don't forget to request your evaluation key from info@codeb.io.

Insert a USB Memory Stick and click for example  “Credential Provider => USB Stick Credentials”.

Set Credentials

To link your Windows Credentials to the stick you need to enter your username, your windows password and optional your network domain.

Logon to Windows

To logon to Windows just plug your USB Memory Stick and choose the CodeB Logon Tile.

​

If you are not using Blockchain based logons you can leave the field Blockchain Alias free.

 

Just enter your PIN into the PIN field and logon.

Generic Tile

If you are not using Blockchain based logons you can leave the field Blockchain Alias free.

​

In case you have stored more than one user on the USB Memory Stick then you can use the Blockchain field to hint the software which credentials to use.

 

Then just enter your PIN into the PIN field and logon.
