- Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor Device
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.
In Windows XP, your login options must be set either for classic login, or for fast user switching and
logon screen to be enabled to use your fingerprint to log on to Windows. To change this go to Control
Panel, select User Accounts and then click Change the way users log on or off. If your Windows
screensaver is password protected, the fingerprint capture window will now appear next to screensaver
password dialog during resume. You can authenticate to your screensaver password prompt with your
enrolled finger.
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.
IF A MACHINE IS LOCKED AND OMNIPASS DETECTS A DIFFERENT USER LOGGING BACK IN WITH A
FINGERPRINT, THE FIRST USER WILL BE LOGGED OUT AND THE SECOND USER LOGGED IN.
