Also I get different behavior with different awk versions. An unsuccessful getline gives different results. Better check its return status.
Some awk versions have a different opinion when a ($0) is true or false. Better do not rely on it.
Code:
awk '{ if (/^ENTER CREDENTIALS/ && getline line <"file2") print ($0 "," line); else print }' file1

or
Code:
awk '/^ENTER CREDENTIALS/ && getline line <"file2" { $0=($0 "," line) } 1' file1

regdiff

REGDIFF(1)							  [FIXME: manual]							REGDIFF(1)

NAME

       regdiff - Diff program for Windows registry files

SYNOPSIS

       regdiff [--help] [--backend=BACKEND] [--backend=BACKEND] [--credentials=CREDENTIALS] [--credentials=CREDENTIALS] [location] [location]

DESCRIPTION

       regdiff compares two Windows registry files key by key and value by value and generates a text file that contains the differences between
       the two files.

       A file generated by regdiff can later be applied to a registry file by the regpatch utility.

       regdiff and regpatch use the same file format as the regedit32.exe utility from Windows.

OPTIONS

       --help
	   Show list of available options.

       --backend BACKEND
	   Name of backend to load. Possible values are: creg, regf, dir and rpc. The default is dir.

	   This argument can be specified twice: once for the first registry file and once for the second.

       --credentials=CREDENTIALS
	   Credentials to use, if any. Password should be separated from user name by a percent sign.

	   This argument can be specified twice: once for the first registry file and once for the second.

VERSION

       This man page is correct for version 4.0 of the Samba suite.
