User Enrollment
Before you can use any OmniPass features you must first enroll a user into OmniPass.
Master Password Concept
Computer resources are often protected with passwords. Whether you are logging into your computer, accessing your
email, e-banking, paying bills online, or accessing network resources, you often have to supply credentials to gain
access. This can result in dozens of sets of credentials that you have to remember.
During user enrollment a "master password” is created for the enrolled user. This master password “replaces” all other
passwords for sites you register with OmniPass.
Example:
John installs OmniPass on his home computer and enrolls an OmniPass user with username “John_01” and
password “freq14”. He then goes to his webmail site to log onto his account. He inputs his webmail credentials as
usual (username “John_02” and password “lifebook”), but instead of clicking [Submit], he directs OmniPass to
Remember Password
. Now whenever he returns to that site, OmniPass will prompt him to supply access credentials.
John enters his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01” and “freq14”) in the OmniPass authentication prompt, and is
allowed into his webmail account. He can do this with as many sites or password-protected resources he likes, and
he will gain access to all those sites with his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01” and “freq14”). This is assuming he
is accessing those sites with the system onto which he enrolled his OmniPass user. OmniPass does not actually
change the credentials of the password protected resource. If John were to go to another computer without he
OmniPass account to access his webmail, he would need to enter his original webmail credentials
(“John_02” and “lifebook”) to gain access. If he attempts his OmniPass user credentials on a system
other than a system he’s enrolled on, he will not gain access.
