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: A user, John, installs OmniPass on his system (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 he is allowed into his webmail account. He can do this with as many web 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.
