Overpassing windows security

Hello everyone,

Have anyone faced the issue of overpassing the windows security?
I have an issue regarding introducing a pin code for a security certificate that is used in Chrome. After the certificate is selected, this image appears in order to introduce the Pin. But when I try to use type into activity, it says that elevated privileges are needed and UP has to be executed as admin. I tried once to run as admin the robot, but the connection to Orch was not working and also the process could not be started.
I tried using AutoHotkey Scripts, PS and Py scripts, but none are working with this.
I haven’t tried yet CV activities.

The interesting part is that this process was a very old one and worked in this config until couple months ago. Not sure what happened meanwhile ( UP update or some Windows updates)

Thanks

Hi @Jarry

You can’t reliably automate Windows security PIN dialogs because they run on the secure desktop. Normal Type Into, hotkeys, or scripts won’t work.

  • Use a certificate without a PIN or pre-enter the PIN manually.
  • Try Computer Vision (CV) activities, but it may be unreliable.
  • Automating or bypassing the PIN with scripts isn’t supported and usually blocked by Windows security.

If there is no use of this popup and allowed by your system admin, try disabling it.

Also can be disabled by disabling these two services:

  1. Smart Card (SCardSvr)
  2. Smart Card Device Enumeration Service (ScDeviceEnum)
