Chapter 2 Using your C5t/F5t Using the fingerprint reader 53
Replace your passwords
Once you’ve enrolled in OmniPass, you can use your OmniPass credentials instead of your
password to log on to your accounts that require passwords. This is called password
replacement. You set up password replacement the next time you’re prompted for a
password. Instead of entering the password, you register your OmniPass credentials.
To register OmniPass credentials:
1. At the user name and password prompt, enter your user name and password, but don’t
log on. (Don’t tap Enter, Submit, or OK.)
2. Right-click the OmniPass icon, and select Remember Password. The Windows® arrow
pointer changes to the OmniPass golden key.
3. Tap the key cursor on the window that has the password that you want OmniPass to
remember.
Note: For some applications, you may have to use the password wizard to register
passwords. If so, from OmniPass Control Center, tap Password Wizard and follow the
instructions.
4. At the Friendly Name prompt, enter a descriptive name to identify the site that you’re
registering.
5. Check Automatically enter. This allows you instant access to the site without requiring a
fingerprint scan or password. OmniPass will automatically submit your user name and
password without prompting for verification.
Setting up strong logon security
For an additional level of security, you can enable strong logon security. Strong logon
security forces you to authenticate with a specific security device (such as the fingerprint
reader or a Smart Card) before allowing access to Windows®.
Notes:
• After strong logon security is enabled, the Windows® Welcome screen and Windows®
Fast User Switching are disabled.
WARNING: After strong logon security is enabled, if the fingerprint reader or smart card
reader fails, you may not be able to log on to the computer.
To enable strong logon security:
1. Start Motion OmniPass (page 50).
2. Tap Change Your OmniPass Settings.
3. Tap the Change System Settings tab.
4. Select the Enable strong logon security checkbox.
5. Tap Save all changes.
6. Tap OK and restart the computer.
