May be a silly questions, but I want to start having our users utilize windows authentication. When I put in my domain and my user name, it generates my name correctly so I can create the user.

it creates the user as username@domain

However, if I try to login using this new login, it will not work.

I have tried the following combinations

username@domain

domain\username

username

domain.local\username

What is the correct way to enter and is the password required with this type of authentication? (I have been inputing the password)

You are probably forgetting to grant that windows login access to the SQL server/database.
For example:
Create an Active Directory group called: Checkmate SQL
Go into SQL, add that group as a new login
Give it dbowner rights on the Checkmate database
Then add the respective windows users to that group.

After that it should work.
