NTLMv1-derived credentials for single sign-on restricted by default

WindowsWindows Server

Who is affected
Windows 11 (24H2, 25H2, 26H2) and Windows Server 2025 devices with Credential Guard disabled that connect to Wi-Fi, Ethernet or VPN using MS-CHAPv2. Single sign-on to those networks can fail.
What to do
  1. Find Wi-Fi, wired 802.1X and VPN profiles that use MS-CHAPv2 (PEAP-MSCHAPv2).
  2. Move them to certificate-based authentication, for example EAP-TLS with Intune-issued certificates.
  3. Use the temporary allow-and-audit registry setting in KB5066470 only while you migrate.

Take action: NTLMv1 hardening changes might affect network connections on devices without Credential Guard“Beginning with the October 2026 security update, Windows 11, versions 26H2, 25H2, and 24H2, along with Windows Server 2025, enforce restrictions on generating NTLMv1-derived credentials for Single Sign-On by default.”
