User Enrollment
Before you can use any OmniPass features you must first enroll a user into OmniPass.
Master Password Concept
Computer resources are often protected with passwords. Whether you are logging into your computer, accessing
email, e-banking, paying bills online, or accessing network resources, you often have to supply credentials to gain
access. This can result in dozens of sets of credentials that you have to remember.
During user enrollment a "master password” is created for the enrolled user. This master password “replaces” all other
passwords for sites you register with OmniPass.
Example:
A user, John, installs OmniPass on his system (his home computer) and enrolls an OmniPass user with
username “John_01” and password “freq14”. He then goes to his webmail site to log onto his account. He inputs his
webmail credentials as usual (username “John_02” and password “lifebook”), but instead of clicking [Submit], he
directs OmniPass to
Remember Password
. Now whenever he returns to that site, OmniPass will prompt him to supply
access credentials.
John enters his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01” and “freq14”) in the OmniPass authentication prompt, and he
is allowed into his webmail account. He can do this with as many web sites or password protected resources he likes,
and he will gain access to all those sites with his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01” and “freq14”). This is assuming
he is accessing those sites with the system onto which he enrolled his OmniPass user. OmniPass does not actually
change the credentials of the password protected resource. If John goes to another computer without he OmniPass
account to access his webmail, he would need to enter his original webmail credentials (“John_02” and “lifebook”) to
gain access. If he attempts his OmniPass user credentials on a system other than a system he’s enrolled on, he will
not gain access.
