Logging into Windows with a Fingerprint Device
When logging into Windows with a fingerprint device, the fingerprint capture
window will now appear next to the
Windows Login screen. Place your enrolled
fingertip on the sensor to authenticate. You will be simultaneously logged
into
Windows and OmniPass. The capture window will also appear if you have used
Ctrl-Alt-Del to lock a system, and
the fingerprint device can be used to log back
in as stated above.
IF A MACHINE IS LOCKED AND OMNIPASS DETECTS A DIFFERENT USER LOGGING BACK IN WITH A
FINGERPRINT
, THE FIRST USER WILL BE LOGGED OUT
AND THE SECOND USER LOGGED IN.
Password Management
OmniPass provides an interface that lets you manage your passwords. To access
this GUI, double-click the OmniPass
key in the system tray. Click Vault
Management; you will be prompted to authenticate. Once you gain access to Vault
Management, click Manage Passwords under Vault Settings. You will see the
Manage Passwords interface, with a list of friendly names.
You can view the credentials stored for any remembered website by highlighting the
desired resource under Password Protected Dialog and clicking Unmask Values.
Should a password be reset, or an account expire, you can remove
stored
credentials from OmniPass. Highlight the desired resource under Password
Protected Dialog and click Delete
Page. You will be prompted to confirm the
password deletion.
The two check boxes in Manage Passwords govern whether OmniPass prompts
you to authenticate or directly logs you into the remembered site.
OmniPass will overwrite an old set of credentials for a website if you attempt to
use Remember Password on an already remembered site.
The exception to the above rule is when resetting the Windows password. If your
password is reset in Windows, the
next time you login to Windows, OmniPass
will detect the password change and prompt you to “Update” or
“Reconfirm” the
password with OmniPass. Enter your new Windows password in the prompt and
click OK. Your
OmniPass "master password" will still be your Windows password.
