Windows Password

[Tealmad]

Hi all. I am wondering if it is possible to read in the encrypted value of a Windows users password so I can preload a textbox with the value?

I have a checkbox on my .NET form -> Use Workstation Logon

When the user checks this box, the username and password fields are populated respectively.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

The answer is No, and I sincerely hope that never changes.

Hack, thanks for your reply. I know it is a rediculous question. And I feel the exact same way. However, I just don't want my users to have to re-enter their username and or password everytime they use the application.

I have successfully authenticated the password when I manually enter it, I just thought it might be possible to load the password (in an encrypted state or something).

Thanks.

But surely if you want your program to access something using the currently logged on user's credentials then you dont need to do anything at all because the program will already be running under the user's security context... what exactly are you trying to authenticate against?
