Disable Windows Standard Login
GateKeeper can disable the standard login methods (username/password) for your computer. If you choose to "Disable" the default login method, then you can only access your computer with your GateKeeper. If you forget your PIN or lose your GateKeeper token, you will NOT be able to access your computer.

Allows end-users to control this feature from their own computers. |
|
Enable: |
Any time a user unlocks their computer with their token, they will be asked for their Windows or Mac username and password. |
|
Disable on Login Screen Only: |
This will disable the Windows/macOS login option. If the user does not have their token, they will not be able to access the computer. |
|
Disable Everywhere: |
Anytime a user unlocks their computer with their token, they won't be asked for their Windows or Mac username and password. |
Backup Login Options
If standard login is disabled, it is strongly recommended that you configure at least one backup login method to prevent lockouts.
Available backup options include:
-
GateKeeper Trident App (iOS or Android) – Use your smartphone as your authenticator token.
-
NFC/RFID Card – Supported cards can be used in place of the Halberd token.
-
Email + OTP or TOTP – Log in using a one-time passcode generated by an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.
-
Spare Hardware Token – If your organization issues spare tokens, contact your administrator for availability and assignment.
For any additional questions or concerns regarding faster 2FA, proximity settings, computer locking, password management, or compliance, please contact GateKeeper Enterprise support using the Support Ticket form on https://gkaccess.com/support/ or email support@gkaccess.com.
