- Introducing the Fingerprint Sensor Device
Configuring OmniPass
This section gives an overview of both the Export/Import function and the OmniPass Control Center.
Exporting and Importing Users
Using OmniPass Control Center, you can export and import users in and out of OmniPass. The export process backs
up all remembered sites, credentials, and enrolled fingerprints for an OmniPass user. All OmniPass data for a user is
backed up to a single encrypted database file. During the import process, the Windows login of the exported user is
required. If the proper credentials cannot be supplied, the user profile will not be imported
.
Exporting an OmniPass User Profile
To export a user, open OmniPass Control Center, and click
Run User Management Wizard.
Click
Backup a user's OmniPass profile
. OmniPass will prompt you to authenticate. Upon successfully authentication,
you must name the OmniPass user profile and decide where to save it. An .opi file is generated, and you should store
a copy of it in a safe place.
This .opi file contains all your user specific OmniPass data, and it is both encrypted and password protected. This user
profile does NOT contain any of your encrypted data files.
