I have created an Excel VSTO Template project with Excel 2016 version. Its working fine. In this Excel VSTO template we create some transaction or you can say records.

Now we need to identify the record with user so that we could know whos created which record.

For it we need to get the Current User Name and Password of the logged in user in VSTO excel template154417-excel-user-info.jpg.

Please see the attached image and we need to get the Current logged in user ( I have put in yellow mark) in my code C#.

    To get the current user, try Environment.UserName.

    To get the full name, add a reference to System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement (maybe using NuGet) and try System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal.Current.DisplayName.

    To get the password, see other answers.
