rectangle. To capture a fingerprint, gently swipe or pull your fingertip over the sensor (starting at the second
knuckle)
towards yourself
. Swiping too fast or too slow will result in a failed capture. The
Choose Finger
screen has a [Practice] button; click it to practice capturing your fingerprint. When you are comfortable with how
your fingerprint is captured, proceed to enroll a finger.

Once OmniPass has successfully acquired the fingerprint, the
Verify Fingerprint
screen will automatically
appear. To verify your enrolled fingerprint, place your fingertip on the sensor and hold it there as if you were
having a fingerprint captured. Successful fingerprint verification will show a green fingerprint in the capture
window and the text
Verification Successful
under the capture window.
Using OmniPass
You are now ready to begin using OmniPass. Used regularly, OmniPass will streamline your
authentications.
Password Replacement
You will often use the password replacement function. When you go to a restricted access website (e.g.,
your bank, your web-based email, online auction or payment sites), you are always prompted to enter your
login credentials. OmniPass can detect these prompts and you can teach OmniPass your login credentials.
The next time you go to that website, you can authenticate with your fingerprint to gain access.
OmniPass Authentication Toolbar
After installing OmniPass and restarting, you will notice a dialog you have not seen before at Windows
Logon. This is the OmniPass Authentication Toolbar, and it is displayed whenever the OmniPass
authentication system is invoked. The OmniPass authentication system may be invoked during Windows
Logon, during OmniPass Logon, when unlocking your workstation, when resuming from hibernate or
sleep, when unlocking a password-enabled screensaver, during password replacement for site or
application logins, and more. When you see this toolbar, OmniPass is prompting you to authenticate.
The
Logon Authentication
window indicates what OmniPass-restricted function you are attempting.
Icons in the lower left (fingerprint and key) show what authentication methods are available to you.
Selected methods are highlighted while unselected methods are not. When you click the icon for an
unselected authentication method, the authentication prompt associated with that method is displayed.
