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.
Less secure is the option to Automatically enter this password protected site when it is activated.
Do not prompt for authentication. Check the upper box to get this setting, and each time you
navigate to this site OmniPass will log you into the site without prompting you to authenticate
.
