Unlock Settings

Login and Unlock Method: Unlock Method defines how GateKeeper will unlock your computer. We recommend the Token/Card plus PIN option for secure 2-factor authentication.

1FA: Touch Token or Scan Card

Requires users to tap their GateKeeper token key fob (or phone) to the USB proximity sensor to log in - great for shared offices.

2FA: Token/Card plus PIN

2FA: requires a user to have their GateKeeper token (possession factor) and to type in a secret PIN (knowledge factor). Most secure method.

OFF-HOURS LOGIN AND UNLOCK METHOD Off-Hours Unlock Method defines how GateKeeper will unlock your computer during your organization's non-working hours. We recommend the Token with PIN Login (2FA) option for secure 2-factor authentication. You can configure off-hours in Global Settings.

1FA: Touch Token or Scan Card

Requires users to tap their GateKeeper token key fob (or phone) to the USB proximity sensor to log in - great for shared offices.

2FA: Token/Card plus PIN

2FA: requires a user to have their GateKeeper token (possession factor) and to type in a secret PIN (knowledge factor). Most secure method.

Remember Previous Login GateKeeper can be set to automatically unlock the computer if the user comes back to the same computer within this Remember Previous Login Timeout period. Only applicable when the Unlock Method is set to GateKeeper with PIN Login.

Force User To Enter PIN GateKeeper can force users to type in their PIN to log in irrespective of their chosen Unlock Method if the user comes back to the computer AFTER this PIN Login Timeout period. Use this to force users to type in their PINs periodically.

Delay Automatic Login GateKeeper will delay unlocking the computer this Delay Automatic Login period after it has been locked. Important: This unlock delay will only apply when the unlock method is set as AUTOMATIC LOGIN.

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, you will NOT be able to access your computer.
