Windows 10: Security Authentication window doesn't display text for username&passw

RE: Windows Security Authentication window / prompt does not display text box for username and password


Good Day


For some reason when prompted for credentials, the window does not seem to display the username and password text boxes to enter my details.
I have experienced it with Outlook, and when using remote desktop connection (so far).
Please see the attached images.
Any assistance would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance

2-step authentication doesn't work for SkyDrive on WP8

I am unable to enter 2-step authentication into the login page for SkyDrive on Windows Phone 8. When you are challenged to enter the generated code from the Authenticator app you must open the Authenticator app to read the number: once you return to the
SkyDrive app to enter the number the SkyDrive app resets itself & requires you to enter your username and password again. I assume this is because the SkyDrive app does not have fast resume enabled. This means that if you have an authenticator app on the same
phone you are trying to log into, you can't get into SkyDrive when 2-step authentication is enabled. There are workarounds, which I have listed at the end of this message.



Steps to reproduce:



1. open SkyDrive app

2. enter username / password

3. SkyDrive prompts you to enter generated code from Authenticator

4. Launch Authenticator app

5. Come back to SkyDrive app via task switch (hold right arrow key down, swipe to running SkyDrive app)

6. SkyDrive app resets, requests username/password again.



In the time it takes to re-enter the username/password, you have lost your Authenticator number.



If you try to do this via text message the same problem exists (replace "Authenticator" with "Messaging App" in repro steps above), unless you have a screen wide enough to display the entire toast message from the text & can enter it without
tasking out of SkyDrive.



There is a workaround, which is to use an alternate method that doesn't involve the phone I am on - for example, email (which I can read on a different machine) or call a number.



Please file a bug against SkyDrive.

 

How do I connect my Windows Phone 7 to a hidden Wi-Fi network?

can you really enter a username for a network on iOS and Android? I don't remember seeing a username box on any device. at my work we can setup MAC authentication so when an authenticated device connects to our network users can go straight onto the network,
or if unauthenticated devices connect, when they open their browser they are presented with a login screen where they enter a username and password. I've just look on an apple laptop, if you choose WEP\WPA\WPA2 Enterprise then you get username & password boxes,
but for WEP\WPA\WPA2 Personal security you don't. On WP you get no option to choose security type, maybe it is meant to auto detect or just doesn't support Enterprise security, but it does connect to hidden wireless networks.
