0.3.0

Features

• #15: Added option to choose the USB security key option even if a paired phone or Windows Hello TPM passkey is available. By default, this program would only choose the USB security key if the sole other option was pairing a new phone, but you can make it also skip already-paired phones, PINs, and biometrics by starting it with --skip-all-non-security-key-options.
  • Thanks @rubenf1999 and @Formula84 for the suggestion, and @DBRomano84 for testing.

Fixes

• #8: Error when dialog opens when the Alt+Tab window switcher is open
  • Skip interacting with Windows Security dialog box if the Alt+Tab window is open
  • Catch spurious COMException
  • Embedded debug symbols into executable so stack traces will have line numbers without having to download a separate PDB file and reproduce the issue
  • Added file logging option

    # log to %TEMP%\AuthenticatorChooser.log
    .\AuthenticatorChooser.exe --log
    
    # log to custom file path
    .\AuthenticatorChooser.exe --log="c:\users\ben\desktop\ac.log"

  • Thanks @EchterAgo for the report and investigation.
• #11: Retry for a longer period for the Windows Security dialog choices to load
  • Thanks @pakud for the report and investigation.
• #8, #18: Localize search strings using the user's locale and all installed system locales
  • Thanks @EchterAgo and @jannispl for the reports, investigations, and a suggested fix pull request.

0.2.0

• #5: Fixed a race condition that was causing this program to do nothing on some computers
  • Retry finding a deferred UI element for a longer duration
  • Changed the delay between retries from constant to power backoff in order to avoid spinning the CPU too much over the longer retry duration
  • Thanks to @Omzig and @waltersenekal for bringing this to my attention, experimenting with different solutions, and testing
• #7: Each Windows user can only run one instance of this program at a time
  • Thanks to @waltersenekal for sharing this suggestion
• You can register this program to automatically start when you log in to Windows, as an alternative to editing the registry yourself

  .\AuthenticatorChooser.exe --autostart-on-logon

• Added usage statement dialog box if you run this program with --help or similar options
