Login and Logout Options - GateKeeper Proximity.

Login Options Available on GateKeeper®.

GateKeeper is built dynamically to fit into many different user scenarios. GateKeeper Proximity has four different login options:

	2FA Login Factor 1: Have your token with you Factor 2: Type your PIN  This login option is two-factor authentication and is the most secure login option recommended. It is the quickness of getting into your car and the security of bank card (debit card PIN).
	Touch to Login Just tap your token to your USB sensor to login automatically. This login option is perfect for logging in quickly into shared workstations with multiple users. Any user can touch their token to login quickly without typing anything.
	Press Enter to Login Have your token with you and simply press the Enter key on the keyboard to login. This is useful when users want to login in automatically but don't want to get logged in accidentally when just passing by a workstation. Pressing the Enter key is the perfect intent to let the computer know to log you in.
	Automatic Login  If you have your token with you, the computer will automatically unlock as you approach it. Perfect for individual users in secure areas. Nothing to type. The range the computer unlocks at can vary depending on the environment. Make sure to adjust your unlock range as needed.
	Automatic Login with Multiple Users If you have Automatic Login selected on a computer with multiple users sharing that computer are present, then the intended user must select their username since the computer does not know which user to automatically log in.

Login with your Original Windows/Mac Password	If your admin allows you to use your Windows or Mac password as a backup login, simply type in your original password to login as you normally would without your token.

Lock Options Available on GateKeeper.

GateKeeper Proximity locks in one of three ways:

1) when the user leaves the area of the computer (proximity),

2) when the user clicks the lock button on the side of the token (button lock), or

3) due to lack of keyboard/mouse activity (inactivity).

Admins can control what happens when GateKeeper locks. All computers in the same Group will be subject to the same configurations for lock setting.

	Walk out of Range Simply walk away from the computer with your token. The computer will determine that you are leaving and automatically lock when you're far enough away. For more information on how GateKeeper's proximity engine decides to lock, click here.
	Press the Lock Button On the side of the GateKeeper token is a button that locks the computer instantly when pressed. On the phone, there is also a lock button on the app to lock the computer from your phone.
	Inactivity Timeout This feature helps to ensure that computers lock even if users accidentally leave their tokens at their workstation and leave. The computer will lock after the inactivity timeout period selected by the admin.

Below are the options for what action to take when locking the computer along with their explanations:

Set on Client computer:	Allows end-users to choose the settings on the Client application on their own computers.
Disable:	Turns off the feature. Not recommended.
Lock Workstation:	Auto-locks the computer. Leaves the current session active and available for any user to login.
Disconnect Session:	Locks the computer and enables switching between local or AD user accounts on Windows 7 and Mac (OS 10.13 and 10.14) computers.
Logout:	Logs the user out from the computer.
