# PingID integration for Windows login (passwordless) 1.4 (July 25, 2023)

New features and improvements in PingID integration for Windows login.

## New events in Windows Event viewer

Improved PingID Integration for Windows login

We've added some Windows login passwordless-related events to the Windows Event viewer.

The new events provide administrators with user event information including online and offline authentication, failed login attempts, and RDP authentication attempts.

For information, see [Troubleshooting passwordless Windows login](../pingid_integrations/pid_troubleshooting_passwordless_windows_login.html)

## Windows login passwordless RDP support

Improved PingID Integration for Windows login

The Windows login passwordless remote desktop (RDP) sign-on process has been improved and now requires only one authentication request.

## OAEP Padding as default

Improved PingID Integration for Windows login

OAEP padding is now used as the default padding scheme with RSA encryption for offline authentication.

If you do not want to use OAEP padding for offline authentication, use the `rsa_padding` option when running the CLI installation. For information, see [Installing passwordless Windows Login integration on client computers (CLI)](../pingid_integrations/pid_installing_passwordless_windows_login_integration_client_computers_cli.html).

## NFC reader support

Improved PingID Integration for Windows login

Windows login passwordless now supports authentication using an NFC reader.

## User Verification discouraged support for security keys

Improved PingID Integration for Windows login

We've added the option to skip user verification for Windows login passwordless users. This requires the relevant flag to be added as an optional parameter during installation.

| - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|   | Some YubiKey devices require user verification, and will not allow the user to authenticate if the user verification discouraged flag is enabled. |

## Security and performance enhancements

Security PingID Integration for Windows login

This version of PingID integration for Windows login passwordless authentication includes improvements and fixes for security and performance-related issues.

## Security key sign on issue

Fixed STAGING-19029 PingID Integration for Windows login

We've fixed an issue that was preventing users from signing on with a security key when the computer language was set to a non-English language.

## Offline authentication issue

Fixed STAGING-19029 PingID Integration for Windows login

We've fixed an issue that was preventing users from attempting to sign on while offline, if their first offline authentication attempt failed.
