system recognize you.
The fingerprint sensor uses Softex OmniPass which provides password management capabilities to Microsoft
Windows operating systems. OmniPass enables you to use a "master password" for all Windows, applications, and on-
line passwords.
OmniPass requires users to authenticate themselves using the fingerprint sensor before granting access to the
Windows desktop. This device results in a secure authentication system for restricting access to your computer,
applications, web sites, and other password-protected resources.
OmniPass presents a convenient graphical user interface, through which you can securely manage passwords, users,
and multiple identities for each user.
