Thanks to David Roberts.
The VerifyWindowsLoginUserPassword function uses the WNetVerifyPassword API function to verify that the user entered the correct password for the user logged in.

Public Function VerifyWindowsLoginUserPassword(ByVal _
Password As String) As Boolean
Dim rtn As Long, Match As Long
rtn = WNetVerifyPassword(Password, Match)
If rtn Then
VerifyWindowsLoginUserPassword = False
Else
VerifyWindowsLoginUserPassword = (Match <> 0)
End If
End Function

Note that this program doesn't seem to run in Windows NT. I don't have NT running right now so I cannot try it.
