Logging into Windows with a Fingerprint Device
When logging into Windows with a fingerprint device, the fingerprint capture
window will now appear next to the Windows Login screen. Place your enrolled
fingertip on the sensor to authenticate. You will be simultaneously logged into
Windows and OmniPass. The capture window will also appear if you have used
Ctrl-Alt-Del
to lock a system, and the fingerprint device can be used to log back
in as stated above.

Password Management
OmniPass provides an interface that lets you manage your passwords. To access
this GUI, double-click the OmniPass key in the system tray. Click
Vault
Management
; you will be prompted to authenticate. Once you gain access to
Vault
Management
, click
Manage Passwords
under
Vault Settings
. You will see the
Manage Passwords
interface, with a list of friendly names.
You can view the credentials stored for any remembered website by highlighting the
desired resource under
Password Protected Dialog
and clicking
Unmask Values
.
Should a password be reset, or an account expire, you can remove stored
credentials from OmniPass. Highlight the desired resource under
Password
Protected Dialog
and click
Delete Page
. You will be prompted to confirm the
password deletion.
The two check boxes in
Manage Passwords
govern whether OmniPass prompts
you to authenticate or directly logs you into the remembered site.
OmniPass will overwrite an old set of credentials for a website if you attempt to
use
Remember Password
on an already remembered site.
The exception to the above rule is when resetting the Windows password. If your
password is reset in Windows, the next time you login to Windows, OmniPass
will detect the password change and prompt you to “Update” or “Reconfirm” the
password with OmniPass. Enter your new Windows password in the prompt and
click
OK
. Your OmniPass "master password" will still be your Windows password.
