Fujitsu E8420 manual Getting Started, Installing OmniPass

With a fingerprint sensor, you can avoid having to enter a username and password every time you want to:

•Log onto Windows

•Resume from sleep mode

•Cancel a password-protected screen saver

•Log into homepages that require a username and password

After you have “enrolled” - or registered - your fingerprint, you can simply swipe your fingertip over the sensor for the system recognize you.

The fingerprint sensor uses Softex OmniPass which provides password management capabilities to Microsoft Windows operating systems. OmniPass enables you to use a "master password" for all Windows, applications, and on-line passwords.

OmniPass requires users to authenticate themselves using the fingerprint sensor before granting access to the Windows desktop. This device results in a secure authentication system for restricting access to your computer, applications, web sites, and other password-protected resources.

OmniPass presents a convenient graphical user interface, through which you can securely manage passwords, users, and multiple identities for each user.
