Go to a site that requires a login (username and pass-
word), 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 this OmniPass
cursor in the login prompt area, but do not click the
[Login] or [Submit] button.

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

If you uncheck both boxes in

Settings for this Password

Site,

OmniPass will prompt you for your master pass-

word or fingerprint authentication device. Once you
have authenticated with OmniPass your credentials will
be filled in to the site login prompt, but you will have to
click the website [OK], [Submit], or [Login] button to
gain access to the site.

Click

Finish

to complete the remember password proce-

dure. The site location, the credentials to access the site,
and the OmniPass authentication settings for the site are
now stored in the OmniPass secure database. The
OmniPass authentication settings (

Settings for this Pass-

word Site

) can always be changed in

Vault Management

Logging in to a Remembered Site

Whether or not OmniPass prompts you to authenticate
when you return to a remembered site is determined by

Settings for this Password Site

and can be changed in

Vault Management

The following cases are applicable to using OmniPass to
login to: Windows, remembered web sites, and all other
password protected resources.

With Master Password

Once you return to a site you have remembered with
OmniPass, you may be presented with a master pass-
word prompt. Enter your master password and you will
be allowed into the site.

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

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 pass-
word 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 Manage-

ment

; you will be prompted to authenticate. Once you

gain access to

Vault Management

, click

Manage Pass-

words

under

Vault Settings

. You will see the

Manage

Passwords

interface, with a list of friendly names.

This setting is more convenient in that
whenever you go to a site remembered
with this setting, you will bypass any
authentication procedure and gain instant
access to the site. But should you leave
your system unattended with your
OmniPass user logged in, anyone using
your system can browse to your password
protected sites and gain automatic access.

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.
