BlockInput() and admin rights - how to make it not ask every time?

[2Radon]

Hello!

How can I make my program ask for administrator rights only once and every time it is executed in future it remembers that?

#RequireAdmin makes it ask every time, and going to the compiled executable file's properties under compatibility and checking run as administrator helps nothing at all.

This is important because otherwise when using my program a user can simply open Notepad at the right time and catch it writing the password that must not be revealed.

You need to find another way of storing the password then. You're talking about an inherent security feature in Windows, and are asking how to circumvent that. Think about your request for a moment to consider how much help you're likely to receive

Also, you shouldn't be using a script to send the password in the clear like that, it's very insecure. Using send is also very very unstable as almost anything can make it send to the wrong window, use ControlSend or ControlSetText instead so you know where the text is going.

Also, an AutoIt script is not secure enough to store a password in.

Thank you for the ControlSend suggestion, I will change it to that later.

Though, talking about security, can a person not create a control that has at least the necessary same identifiers as the control AutoIT program sends the password to and get it that way?

 

Now I have a question related to this, why is not this working?

RunAs(@UserName, @LogonDomain, "password", 4, "C:\Users\<user>\Desktop\CMD\Main\Project\MainForm.exe", "C:\Users\<user>\Desktop\CMD\Main\Project") ; I tried all four logon flags, no good.
; Obviously replaced real password and user with something else for showing here... :)

Nothing is secure enough in this world.

What has been made can be unmade.

Does anyone have a solution to this topic?

if you considered all that was said above about security, and you still insist on blocking input, then try BlockInpukEx() instead, it does not ask (me, at least) for admin rights.
