I have written a Custom Credential Provider with Multifactor Authentication which authenticates user from my local server and then by passing the credentials (username/password) to the credential provider, it allows the user to login into the machine if the credentials (userName/password) are authenticated.
Now I want to add Windows Hello based authentication also in my credential provider. I know that I need to create new tile (dll) for it and even I know that for Biometric authentication we have WBF APIs. But I need "PIN authentication API" or any way by which we can authenticate a user through PIN (username/PIN) in my credential provider.
I am looking for a C++ based solution. But if it is based on C# that would also work for me.
Thanks

2021-08-10T03:12:35.167+00:00 As we have different sign-in options provided by Windows in Win10 -
- Window Hello Fingerprint
- Windows Hello PIN
- Windows Hello Face
- Security Key
I am looking for APIs for authenticating this PIN Option or any custom credential provider sample where authentication has been done through username/PIN and not username/password.

2021-08-10T06:39:47.327+00:00 I want to develop my own PIN Authentication based custom credential provider. If I get a sample for that it would be great. But if I may get the API for the same that would also be fine to me.
Scenario would be -
User will set PIN through Windows sign-in option.
The same PIN will be authenticated on my credential provider tile and if passes user would be logged in. -

2021-08-11T05:55:27.713+00:00 Both would work for me. I have searched for more about it and found that it is NGC Credential Provider which provides PIN Authentication tile.
So basically, I want to develop a custom credential provider similar to NGC Credential provider.

2021-08-11T06:41:09.393+00:00 The only custom credential provider I know is this. I'm sorry. Which custom credential provider do you mean?

2023-10-01T11:50:08.8666667+00:00 Hi, As I mentioned earlier as well. When we setup Windows Hello (Biometric) on our windows machine, It asks us to setup PIN. After setting PIN, we can see two tiles (different ways) for login in windows. I just wanted to know, how we can authenticate PIN in our custom credential provider?
