OmniPass Authentication Toolbar
After installing OmniPass and restarting, you will notice a dialog you have not seen before at Windows Logon. This is
the OmniPass Authentication Toolbar, and it is displayed whenever the OmniPass authentication system is invoked.
The OmniPass authentication system may be invoked frequently: during Windows Logon, during OmniPass Logon,
when unlocking your workstation, when resuming from sleep or hibernate, when unlocking a password-enabled
screensaver, during password replacement for remembered site or application logins, and more. When you see this
toolbar, OmniPass is prompting you to authenticate.
The Logon Authentication window indicates what OmniPass-restricted function you are attempting. The icons in the
lower left (fingerprint and key) show what authentication methods are available to you. Selected authentication
methods are highlighted while unselected methods are not. When you click the icon for an unselected authentication
method, the authentication prompt associated with that method is displayed.
When prompted to authenticate, you must supply the appropriate credentials: an enrolled finger for the fingerprint
capture window or your master password for the master password prompt (the key icon).
Remembering a Password
OmniPass can remember any application, GUI, or password protected resource with a password prompt.
Using the following procedure, you can store a set of credentials into OmniPass. These credentials will then be linked
to your "master password" or fingerprint.

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.
