Smartcard authentication window keeps popping up.

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

It sounds like the issue is related to the smartcard service plugin not stopping when you remove the smartcard. One solution you can try is to disable the smartcard service when you're not using the smartcard for work.

To do this, follow these steps:

Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

Type "services.msc" and press Enter.

Scroll down to the "Smart Card" service, right-click on it and select "Properties".

Change the "Startup type" to "Disabled" and click "OK".

When you need to use the smartcard for work, simply change the "Startup type" back to "Automatic" and restart the computer.

Alternatively, you can try updating the smartcard driver and firmware, as this may resolve the issue.

 

Smartcard login

My new laptop, a Thinkpad T480s has a smartcard reader and is shipped with Window 10 Pro. How can I use the smartcard reader to log into Windows using a smartcard?

I'm not really interested in all kinds of technical stuff about smartcards, I'm just a home user and I have a smartcard reader and several smartcards that might be usable. Simple as that. I don't need filesystem encryption for now either.

I see it as just logging in with an alternative input - not unlike fingerprint login really.

But instead of fingerprint, I want to use smartcard.

How to do it?

 

Smartcard login


Hi All

I have started to use a Smartcard to login to my Windows 10 Education machine. Logging in works fine but the one annoying problem I have is that when I boot up the machine and am at the login screen it ALWAYS defaults to using a password login. This even happens after successfully logging in with the Smartcard. ie: it doesn't "remember" that I last used a Smart card to login.

Is there a way to set the Smartcard as the default login? I still want the password login to be an option but I always want the Smartcard to be the default.

Basically, I want to turn the machine on and to then be presented with a PIN entry screen to login with my Smart card. (I'm the only person that uses this machine)

Currently I have to ALWAYS change from a password login by selecting the Smartcard on the logon screen and only then can I enter the PIN.

I also have to change from a password logon to a Smartcard logon even if I have just locked my machine!

So, is there a way I can set Windows 10 to ALWAYS default to using a Smartcard login?

I have clients that use Smartcards with Windows 7 and it always remembers the last logon type. Can Windows 10 do this as well?

For those interested I am using the following to use a Smartcard on a workgroup machine:
