B Series.book Page 111 Friday, May 19, 2006 3:00 PM

You can view the credentials stored for any remembered website by highlighting the desired resource under Pass- word Protected Dialog and clicking Unmask Values.

Should a password be reset, or an account expire, you can remove stored credentials from OmniPass. Highlight the desired resource under Password Protected Dialog and click Delete Page. You will be prompted to confirm the password deletion.

The two check boxes in Manage Passwords govern whether OmniPass prompts you to authenticate or directly logs you into the remembered site.

OmniPass will overwrite an old set of credentials for a website if you attempt to use Remember Password on an already remembered site.

The exception to the above rule is the resetting of your Windows password. If your password is reset in Windows, then the next time you login to Windows, OmniPass will detect the password change and prompt you to “Update” or “Reconfirm” your password with OmniPass. Enter your new Windows password in the prompt(s) and click OK and your OmniPass "master password" will still be your Windows password.

OmniPass User Identities

Identities allow OmniPass users to have multiple accounts to the same site (e.g., bob@biblomail.com and boballen@biblomail.com). If OmniPass did not provide you identities, you would be limited to remembering one account per site.

To create and manage identities, double-click the OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vault Manage- ment; OmniPass will prompt you to authenticate. Once you gain access to Vault Management, click Manage Identities under Vault Settings. You can only manage the identities of the currently logged in OmniPass user

To add a new identity, click New Identity or double-click Click here to add a new identity. Name the new identity and click OK, then click Apply. You can now switch to the new identity and start remembering passwords.

To delete an identity, highlight the identity you want to delete and click Delete Identity, then click Apply.

When you delete an identity, all of its associated remembered sites and password protected dialogs are lost.

To set the default identity, highlight the identity you want as default and click [Set as Default]; click [Apply] to ensure the settings are saved. If you log in to OmniPass with a fingerprint device, you will automati- cally be logged in to the default identity for that

OmniPass user. You can choose the identity with which you are logging in if you login using "master password".

Choosing User Identity during Login

To choose your identity during login, type your user- name in the User Name: field. Press [Tab] and see that the Domain: field self-populates. Click the Password: field to bring the cursor to it, and you will see the pull- down menu in the Identity: field. Select the identity you wish to login as and then click OK to login.

Switch User Identity

To switch identities at any time, right-click the OmniPass system tray icon and click Switch User Iden- tity from the submenu. The Switch Identity dialog will appear. Select the desired identity and then click OK.

Identities and Password Management

On the Manage Passwords interface of the Vault Management tab of the OmniPass Control Center, there is a pull-down selection box labeled, Identity. This field lets you choose which identity you are managing pass- words for. When you select an identity here, only those password protected dialogs that are associated with that identity are shown. You can perform all the functions explained in “Password Management” on page 110.

CONFIGURING OMNIPASS

This section gives an overview of both the Export/ Import function and the OmniPass Control Center.

Exporting and Importing Users

Using the OmniPass Control Center, you can export and import users in and out of OmniPass. The export process backs up all remembered sites, credentials, and any 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.

■You should periodically export your user profile and store it in a safe place. If anything happens to your system, you can import your OmniPass profile to a new system and have all your remem- bered settings and fingerprints instantly.

■When you examine the importation, you are prompted for authentication. The credentials that will allow a user profile to be imported are the Windows login credentials of the exported user. They are the credentials that had to be submitted when the user profile was exported. You will need User Name, Password, and Domain.
