Dialog appears after OmniPass authentication during Windows Logon
After installing OmniPass on your system, you can choose to logon to Windows
using OmniPass. You authenticate with OmniPass (via master password, or an
enrolled security device) and OmniPass logs you into Windows. You may, during
this OmniPass authentication, see a
Login Error
dialog box.
This dialog box occurs when OmniPass was unable to log you into Windows with
the credentials supplied (username and password). This could happen for any of
the following reasons:
•
Your Windows password has changed
•
Your Windows account has been disabled
If you are having difficulties due to the first reason, you will need to update
OmniPass with your changed Windows account password. Click
Update Password
and you will be prompted with a dialog to reconfirm your password.
Enter the new password to your Windows user account and click
OK
. If the error
persists, then it is unlikely the problem is due to your Windows user account
password changing.
