Windows Credential Provider Information

A Windows Credential Provider is also available, to be installed on your Windows Desktops to provide a link where users can reset their account’s passwords from the Windows Logon screens. The Windows Credential Provider is supported to be installed on Windows 10 or Windows 11.

As Microsoft no longer supports Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge do not provide a true kiosk mode with these browsers, Click Studios’ bundles their own minimal chromium-based browser with the Windows Credential Provider.

Download Instructions

The Windows Credential Provider installer can be downloaded from the Checksums page on our Click Studios’ website here - https://www.clickstudios.com.au/passwordstate-checksums.aspx

Installation Instructions

The Windows Credential Provider must be installed in silent mode, and run as an Administrator. This can either be done from a command prompt, or a software deployment solution, using the syntax below.

PasswordstateCredentialProvider.exe /s Text="Reset Password/Unlock Account" Url="https://
portal.mydomain.com"

"Text" is the title of the link you want to display on your login screens, and "Url" is the URL of your Password Reset Portal website.
