How to disable the Windows Login Option through the GateKeeper Hub.
GateKeeper can disable the standard login methods (username/password) for your computer. If you choose to Disable the default login method, then you can only access your computer with your GateKeeper.
Caution: If you forget your PIN or lose your GateKeeper token, you will not be able to access your computer. We recommend enabling our OTP back login before disabling the Windows Credential Provider.
