Constants

WCN_PASSWORD_TYPE_PUSH_BUTTON Value: 0 Indicates the device uses a WPS button interface to put the device into wireless provisioning mode. If this value is specified when calling IWCNDevice::SetPassword, set dwPasswordLength to zero and pbPassword to NULL.

If this value is specified when calling IWCNDevice::SetPassword, set dwPasswordLength to the number of digits in the password, and pbPassword to point to a buffer containing the ASCII representation of the pin.
WCN_PASSWORD_TYPE_PIN_REGISTRAR_SPECIFIED Indicates that authentication is secured via a PIN, as above, but that the PIN is specified by the registrar. Note  Only available in Windows 8.
