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.

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 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 websites, 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 [WinKey + L] to lock a system, and the fingerprint device can be used to log back in as stated above.

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.

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.
