- Introducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor Device
Go to a site that requires a login (username and password), but
do not log in yet.
At the site login prompt, enter your
username and password in the prompted fields, but
do not enter the site
(do not hit [Enter], [Submit], [OK], or
Login). Right-click the OmniPass system tray icon and select Remember Password from the submenu. The Windows
arrow cursor will change to a golden key OmniPass cursor. Click the OmniPass cursor in the login prompt area, but
don’t click [Login] or [Submit].
Associating a Friendly Name
After clicking the OmniPass key cursor near the login prompt, OmniPass will prompt you to enter a “friendly name”
for this site. You should enter something that reminds you of the website, the company, or the service you are logging
into. In its secure database, OmniPass associates this friendly name with this website.
Additional Settings for Remembering a Site
When OmniPass prompts you to enter a “friendly name” you also have the opportunity to set how OmniPass
authenticates you to this site. There are three effective settings for how OmniPass handles a remembered site.
The default setting is Automatically click the “OK” or “Submit” button for this password protected site once the
user is authenticated. With this setting, each time you navigate to this site OmniPass will prompt you for your master
password or fingerprint authentication device. Once you have authenticated with OmniPass, you will automatically
be logged into the site.
Less secure is the option to Automatically enter this password protected site when it is activated. Do not prompt
for authentication. Check the upper box to get this setting, and each time you navigate to this site OmniPass will log
you into the site without prompting you to authenticate.
If you uncheck both boxes in Settings for this Password Site, OmniPass will prompt you for your master password or
fingerprint authentication device. Once you have authenticated with OmniPass your credentials will be filled in to the
site login prompt, but you will have to click the website [OK], [Submit], or [Login] button to gain access to the site.
THIS SETTING IS MORE CONVENIENT IN THAT WHENEVER YOU GO TO A SITE REMEMBERED WITH THIS SETTING, YOU WILL BYPASS ANY
AUTHENTICATION PROCEDURE AND GAIN INSTANT ACCESS TO THE SITE. BUT SHOULD YOU LEAVE YOUR SYSTEM UNATTENDED WITH YOUR
O
MNIPASS USER LOGGED IN, ANYONE USING YOUR SYSTEM CAN BROWSE TO YOUR PASSWORD PROTECTED SITES AND GAIN AUTOMATIC ACCESS.
