Managing Passwords, Profiles and Users

Now that the application is up and running and you have a registered fingerprint, it’s time to get rid of that annoying web of usernames and passwords. Start by running softwares and visiting websites that ask you to log in. The OmniPass instantly recognizes a password field and asks if you’d like to enter that particular username and password into the database. You must to do this for every website and Windows application that requires logging in – but just this one time and then it’s done. Once your, say, eBay account is put into the Password Vault you can log in by putting you finger on the Biopod, never needing to type that username and password information again.

By clicking on the software system-tray icon you can access the application controls. There you can manage users, enroll new fingers and also change settings (like disabling the beep sound of the fingerprint prompt). Furthermore you can also change your identities – the software allows you to have multiple accounts on the same computer. For instance, you can have two identities, work and home. You store one username and password for the application under the work identity and the other username and password under the home identity. To switch identities, just select the one you’d like to use when you log in to OmniPass. The application allows as many identities as the user wishes it.

The problem with the OmniPass software is that it lacks a shut down feature. It can pop up when you are playing a game or installing software. The only way to shut it down is from the task manager.
