That's a bit different. I can fake swipe-up on a GUI but I can't fake Ctrl-Alt-Del.

- Lammy 6y agoThe implementation may be bad but it seems like the same idea to me, “user must interact with UI before entering credentials”.
- olyjohn 6y agoExcept you don't have to. Just start typing your password.
- Lammy 6y agoYes, that’s why it’s a bad implementation of a good idea.
- int_19h 6y agoEven if you had to, it's still a bad idea. Ctrl+Alt+Delete works, because no normal Win32 app can intercept this - so if you do it, and you see a login box, you know that this is the real thing. But any app can go fullscreen and draw a fake login screen that you can swipe up to show a fake login form.
- dfox 6y agoActually the idea behond Ctrl-Alt-Del is the other way around. Application can cause the same effect as user pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del (although doing that is somewhat complex due to interactions with UAC), but there is no way how application can prevent the said effect (essentially switching virtual desktops) from happening when user presses Ctrl-Alt-Del.
