All current automatic logon solutions for Microsoft Windows use one of two approaches. One group stores data in the system registry; the rest store their data in Local Security Authority storage (LSASecret). You can find different variations on these solutions, from predefined registry entry changes to separate programs. You can review almost all of them in our list of competitive automatic logon solutions.

Data from the registry can be retrieved simply with RegEdit, and data from LSASecret with any program which shows LSASecret passwords. These locations can also be accessed remotely via a network. Both solutions are absolutely insecure, as with either it is very simple to steal logon and password data.

LogonExpert is a secure approach to automatic logon. It stores logon data encrypted with the AES 256 algorithm. It directly interacts with WinLogon (the part of the operating system responsible for logon) to ensure that no other application can intercept logon data. It has many other useful features.

• Windows Autologon with no human interaction

  LogonExpert is easy to configure, stable and reliable.

• Secured automatic logon

  The AES 256 encryption algorithm protects your logon data; direct interaction with WinLogon secures your computer while it’s logging in.

• Support of any type of Windows account

  LogonExpert works with all types of Windows accounts including local or Active Directory domain accounts, Microsoft (formerly Windows Live) and Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) accounts. Moreover, both password and PIN based types of authentication are supported.

• Micro Focus OES autologon

  LogonExpert works with Micro Focus OES eDirectory (formerly Novell Netware) and can additionally autologon its users keeping their credentials just as secure.

• Multi-user logon

  Add and log on any number of users to one computer simultaneously using the application’s interface, command line, scripts or scheduling tools.

• Remote Configuration, Logon, Logoff, Lock, and Unlock

  You can securely manage LogonExpert on remote computers using either the LogonExpert Administrator interface or the built-in command line tool, le.exe. Furthermore, le.exe provides the ability to remotely execute logon, logoff, and lock commands.

• Advanced command line control

  Activate or deactivate LogonExpert, log on or log off a specified user account, lock or unlock the computer, set up the logon credentials through the command line both locally and remotely.

• Locking computer after logon

  Any logged-on session can be secured with automatic workstation locking.

• Transparent Desktop Lock

  As an alternative to the Windows built-in locking mechanism, you can lock the user's desktop transparently, keeping its content visible for everyone but protected from unwanted human access via mouse or keyboard.

• Delayed or scheduled logon, lock and logoff

  Configure a simple pre-logon delay, or set up an advanced configuration with the built-in scheduler. Also available is the post-logon wake-up capability.

• Keeping user logged on

  LogonExpert can be configured to automatically log a specified user back on each time any user of the computer logs off.

• Bypassing auto login barriers

  Ctrl+Alt+Del requests, shutdown events, system legal notices and any other windows appearing before logon are bypassed automatically.

• User rights control

  Administrator can allow or deny limited users the ability to configure Windows Autologon.

• Keeping computer unlocked

  Have your computer unlocked automatically after a wake-up, screensaver shutdown, manual lock or system idling.

• Support of third-party 2FA/MFA systems

  LogonExpert detects and works with all major two-factor authentication (2FA) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) systems for Windows autologon, such as Duo, Imprivata, Okta, etc. You get the software's secure autologon functionality while also having your system protected by 2FA/MFA.

• All Windows versions supported

  All modern versions of Microsoft Windows are supported—from Windows Vista to Windows 10, including Windows Vista/7/8, Windows Server 2008/2012, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019/2022, Windows 10 and Windows 11

• Optional autologon interruption

  Autologin can be interrupted with ease by pressing the “Shift” key. This option can be configured.
