How to remove Spriv Multi-Factor Authentication (RDP)

Full removal requires a Safe Mode reboot, a registry step, and then a standard Control Panel uninstall in that order.

  1. Reboot in Safe Mode

    Start the computer in Safe Mode see the OS-specific steps below.

  2. Navigate to the Spriv folder

    Open File Explorer and go to C:\Program Files\Spriv LLC\Spriv Credential Provider\.

  3. Run UnregisterFilter.reg

    Double-click UnregisterFilter.reg to remove Spriv MFA for RDP from the registry.

  4. Reboot

    Restart the computer. The Spriv login screen will still appear.

  5. Select your original login method

    On the left side of the login screen, choose your original login method and log in.

  6. Uninstall the Credential Provider

    Once logged in: Control Panel → "Uninstall a Program" → select "Spriv Credential Provider for Windows" → click "Uninstall."

  7. Reboot again

    After the final restart, only your original login method will be available.
