The credential provider for Password Reset is fairly simply and straight forward. Since I have joined the team, there is very little code change in that area. Recently, we decided to fix some minor known bug in the credential provider (CP) and I realized I don't know too much about how CP works.
So I downloaded the samples in Windows SDK and played with it. After some time, I came up with the following.
Notice the extra tile at logon screen
... and after you click on the tile.
Feel free to download the source code and play with it. The zip file contains x86 and x64 release builds.

Anthony,
I would love to check out the code but I can't find the link.
Never mind I see it. Eyes too watery from my cold
This is really cool!
I installed it on a W.2008 R2, and it runs perfectly!
Congrats.
I have a question which you may know the answer two. I downloaded the Credential Provider Sample from MS and was able to unlock on a computer with no DOMAIN but it failed on a computer on a DOMAIN. Should domain be passed in any special way along with the username (DOMAIN\username did not seem to work) - or do the whole sample needs to be rewritten in order to support domain logon?
Thanks!
i haven't looked into that
maybe, the GetSerialization() in the sample is for local logon only
this might have some useful information

I need a Credential Provider to open a web page that allows the user to reset their password.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried this?
