I have smart card USB token, and when I need to enter password to sign in document with certificate, Windows security form only gives me PIN field to enter, I cant see the user name of certificate, which is really annoying.
Is there a way to display user name of certificate when displaying PIN to enter?

To display the username of the certificate along with the PIN field when signing in with a smart card USB token in Windows, you can adjust a Group Policy setting. Here's how you can enable this feature: 1. Open Local Group Policy Editor: - Press Windows Key + R, type gpedit.msc, and hit Enter to open the Local Group Policy Editor. 2. Navigate to Smart Card Logon Settings: - In the Local Group Policy Editor, go to:
Code:
 Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options
3. Change "Interactive logon: Display user information when the session is locked": - Look for the policy setting named "Interactive logon: Display user information when the session is...

3. Change "Interactive logon: Display user information when the session is locked": - Look for the policy setting named "Interactive logon: Display user information when the session is locked" in the right pane. - Double-click on it to edit the policy setting. - Select "Enabled" to display user information during the pre-logon phase. - Click Apply and then OK to save the changes. 4. Apply Changes and Test: - Close the Local Group Policy Editor. - Restart your computer to apply the new Group Policy setting. - After rebooting, try signing in again using your smart card USB token. You should now see the username of the certificate along with the PIN field during the login process. Enabling this setting will help display the user information (username) alongside the PIN field when using a smart card USB token for authentication.
