What advantage does abylon LOGON offer for Windows logon

?

To secure the Windows computer against unauthorized access, it is necessary to use a password that is as long and complex as possible with lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers and special characters. Only such a password can be remembered only by very few people and typing in the long character string is also annoying. The procedure of the password input takes over the software abylon LOGON for the user. In addition only the hardware key must be put. As hardware key the following media can be used:

  • Certificate chip card and token
  • processor chip card
  • Memory chip card
  • External storage medium (e.g. USB stick) with key file on the medium
  • External storage medium (e.g. USB stick) with key file on computer
  • CD/DVD
  • Contactless RFID - Radio chip card
  • Bluetooth device (e.g. mobile phone)
  • NOTE: Special support on Request!

And when leaving the computer, it is sufficient to drag the hardware key and protect the computer against unwanted access. A security, which protects the computer simply and fast when going to the quiet place and into the canteen.

The software abylon LOGON protects your computer in a comfortable way against unauthorized access. You only need to train your chip card, your USB storage medium or a CD/DVD with your login data and in the future this medium will be sufficient for the legitimization of your computer. As an extended protection you can optionally verify your login by entering your previous password. During the lunch break you only need to pull the chip card or the USB stick and your computer will be automatically locked or logged off. Thus you protect your computer without large expenditure from curious looks and prevent a secret data theft.

For professional users, various certificate chip cards are supported. When logging on to the computer, only the chip card or the USB token (e.g. Aladdin eToken) must be inserted and the PIN must also be entered.
