By placing a portion of the Password into the field, and requiring the end user to fill in the balance of
the Password, you have created a two-factor authentication system (something you have – i.e. the
card, and something you know – i.e. the balance of the password). This has the benefit of protecting
against lost/stolen badges. That being said, there is nothing that would stop you from putting the
entire set of data into either (but not both) fields.
Once you have defined the keystrokes and credentials necessary, you are ready to perform a ‘Write
Credential’ operation.
The default setup for the log-on credential allocates room on the card for 16 character usernames,
passwords, as well as a couple of pre and post keystrokes for each credentials. The 16 characters are
the Microsoft Windows limitation for user credentials. Should you need to override the defaults to
expand or reduce this, you may do so by unlocking the ‘Lock Locations’ and pressing the ‘Advanced
Location’.
