Extract the zip file and continue with the following steps.

Copy DLL file

You need to copy the MonoSignCredentialSSP.dll to the C:\Windows\System32\ directory. When you have done that

Edit Registry File

You need to edit the SSP-Install.reg file before you continue. Right-click on the file, Edit with Notepad, and type your MonoSign Account Application URL without HTTP or HTTPS as prefixes. If I am accessing my account through https://poc.trymonosign.com the registry file should be like this;

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Credential Providers\{BEB5789F-1AE0-46B2-B254-0B2B46B1F6F0}]
@="MonoSign Credential - Self-Service Portal"
"BaseUrl"="poc.trymonosign.com"
"SSL"="true"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BEB5789F-1AE0-46B2-B254-0B2B46B1F6F0}]
@="MonoSign Credential SSP"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BEB5789F-1AE0-46B2-B254-0B2B46B1F6F0}\InprocServer32]
@="MonoSignCredentialSSP.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

If your account address is not https we highly recommend use https for your own security. If you don’t want to enable HTTPS, you can still continue with changing “SSL”=”true” to “SSL”=”false”.

When you have that, you can see your “MonoSign Password Reset / Account Unlock” option on your login screen.

You can select MonoSign Password Reset / Account Unlock and continue with the process to Reset Password or Unlock your Account.
