The default GINA is provided by Microsoft as part of the operating system, and offers authentication against Windows ___domain servers with a supplied user name/password combination. Winlogon can be configured to use a different GINA, providing for non-standard authentication methods (like [[smart card]] readers or identification based on [[biometrics]], for example).

In [[Windows Vista]], GINA has been entirely replaced by '''Credential Providers''', which allows for a significantly more flexibility in supporting multiple credential collection methods.
