Hi,

On Windows 7 we would set the LastLoggedOnProvider value under the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\SessionData path to the smart card credential provider which is {8BF9A910-A8FF-457F-999F-A5CA10B4A885} on Windows 7. This would result in the smart card login being the default authentication method but still allow username/password login by clicking "Other Credentials".

When we try to set LastLoggedOnProvider to {8FD7E19C-3BF7-489B-A72C-846AB3678C96} which is the new smart card credential provider value on Windows 10, it does not work. We would like to default the credential provider to smart card instead of username/password. We still want the username/password to be available so we don't want to completely exclude or disable the credential provider. In Windows 7 this is relatively straightforward by using the LastLoggedOnProvider values but this does not appear to work for Windows 10. We do not want to enable the function to remember the last logged on user account as this is prohibited by our security policy.

Is there any way in Windows 10 to set the default credential provider for "Other User" to smart card instead of username/password? Right now when the OS boots up, Other User is defaulted to a username/password login. The user has to click on the Sign-in Options and then click the Smart Card icon in order to access the smart card login screen.

Thanks

Josh
