You can easily enforce back the default ctrl-alt-del key combo. It's still in force, but Microsoft did that to make the device more accessible to people with disability. See the discussion about a setting where we made it possible to go overboard on the SAS and how that didn't really work out well:"įrom Unintended Consequences of Security Lockdowns Second is that the SAS has probably been a very low-value protection, overall. One is the increase in systems where a Secure Attention Sequence (SAS) isn't feasible.

Finally, with devices offering more keyboard-free logon experiences such as facial recognition, Ctrl+Alt+Del becomes an annoying interference."įrom "Security baseline for Windows 10 – DRAFT" by Aaron Margosis, October 8, 2015 Third, if the adversary has gained administrative control of the computer, the “secure desktop” is no longer a protected space. Second, so many apps prompt the user for the same credentials on the user’s desktop that the credentials can easily be stolen there.

If you use any computer you are susceptible to attacks in a variety of ways, so I am looking for technical specifics that I can wrap my head around regarding Ctrl + Alt + Del providing value prior to logon.Īaron Margosis who writes for the Microsoft Security Guidance blog on TechNet addressed this specifically a couple of times regarding the change to "Not Configured" for Secure Attention Sequence aka Ctrl Alt Del. So now I am sort of questioning the credibility of Ctrl + Alt + Del, because (1) it seems it was suddenly dropped in Windows 10, and (2) to me the wording from Microsoft is quite vague.

Recently NIST revised their password recommendations, I believe it's publication 800-63B. I am having trouble understanding this rationale for Ctrl + Alt + Del I mean if a malicious user installs malware that looks like the standard logon screen shouldn't I first be worried about that having happened where malware got installed? Can someone at least provide examples of those attacks user's are left susceptible to?įor so long we've all be marching to the tune of must do Ctrl + Alt + Del prior to logon, and ironically it is worded "Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL = Disabled". The attacker can then log on to the compromised account with whatever level of user rights that user has.

A malicious user might install malware that looks like the standard logon dialog box for the Windows operating system, and capture a user's password.
