GINA Windows User Authentication

On Windows, the GINA module can be expanded to support various authentication methods. For example, you can already see support for fingerprints, smart cards, or even face recognition (for example, what Lenovo did with its laptops). What I'm trying to achieve is not as complex as these methods. All I want to do is provide my own authentication service (for example, my own authentication method at login). Also, I want to know if there is a way to extend the default authentication method (password) so that the password pre-processing step is set before sending it to the local Windows authentication service.

Thanks.

I know that an answer was given to the question, but I could not help but notice that there was no mention of replacing GINA with Credential Providers. Here are some links:

ICredentialProvider Interface on MSDN

The new way will not work the same as GINA.
