• Smart Device Development DPAPI user mode on Windows Mobile

  Hello While trying to understand the workings of DPAPI, I am at a loss in understanding how User Mode would work on a Windows Mobile device where a user hasn't specifically logged into a domain.

However Mobile users don't usually need to log in, so where would this OS level API get the user password from for encryption Can someone please explain this working on a mobile device...... Thanks Amit This looks like a windows mobile API question... You are more likely to g ...Show All
