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.
When prompted to authenticate, you must supply the appropriate credentials: an
enrolled finger for the fingerprint capture window or your master password for the
master password prompt (the key icon).
Remembering a Password
OmniPass can remember any application, GUI, or password protected resource that
has a password prompt.
Using the following procedure, you can store a set of credentials into OmniPass.
These credentials will then be linked to your “master password” or fingerprint.
Go to a site that requires a login (username and password), but
do not log in yet.
At
the site login prompt, enter your username and password in the prompted fields,
but
do not enter the site
(do not hit [Enter], [Submit], [OK], or Login). Right-click
the OmniPass system tray icon and select
Remember Password
from the submenu.
The Windows arrow cursor will change to a golden key OmniPass cursor. Click the
OmniPass cursor in the login prompt area, but don’t click [Login] or [Submit].
Associating a Friendly Name
After clicking the OmniPass key cursor near the login prompt, OmniPass will
prompt you to enter a “friendly name” for this site. You should enter something
that reminds you of the website, the company, or the service you are logging into.
In its secure database, OmniPass associates this friendly name with this website.
Additional Settings for Remembering a Site
When OmniPass prompts you to enter a “friendly name” you also have the
opportunity to set how OmniPass authenticates you to this site. There are three
effective settings for how OmniPass handles a remembered site.
The default setting is
Automatically click the “OK” or “Submit” button for this
password protected site once the user is authenticated
. With this setting, each
time you navigate to this site OmniPass will prompt you for your master password or
fingerprint authentication device. Once you have authenticated with OmniPass, you
will automatically be logged into the site.
