# Windows Settings

When provisioning a Windows-based resource and opting to have your user created during the provisioning process, the credentials entered in this section will be used to seed that user into the provisioned resource.

- **Username:** The username that will be used with your Windows accounts
- **Password:** The password that will be used with your Windows accounts
- **Confirm:** Confirm your entered password. These must match in order for the new password value to be saved

WARNING

If your users Windows Settings password is not defined, and ‘Create User” is enabled during provisioning (default), a random password will be generated but not exposed and you will not be able to login with your user.
