Unlock Settings in GateKeeper Enterprise.

Change Unlock Settings from GateKeeper Hub Admin Console

All computers in the same Group will be subject to the same configurations for locking, unlocking, and password complexity. From the GateKeeper Hub admin console, managers can set and enforce all login and logout options for each user's computer. Set 2FA, allow them to auto-login if they return to the same computer in a certain amount of time, select off-hours, let people login with touch, login by pressing the Enter key, and more.

1) Login to your GateKeeper Hub admin console.

2) Click on Group Settings on the left side.

3) Find the Group containing the computer and users you would like to make login/unlock changes to. Click "Manage Settings" to the right of the Group's name.

4) Now you can edit lock settings, unlock settings, advanced settings, and limit the features end users have control over on their client computers.

Unlock Methods

Set on Client Computer:	Allows end-users to choose the settings on the Client application on their own computers.
Automatic Login:	Proximity login - once the user is in the range of the computer, the user will be authenticated.
Press Enter to Login:	When the token is in the range of the computer, pressing the Enter key will authenticate the user.
Touch to Login:	Touch the token to the USB sensor to authenticate – just like an NFC card.
Automatic with User Selection:	When the token is in the range of the computer, the tokens assign user profiles will appear. Click the desired profile to be logged in.
GateKeeper with PIN Login:	Requires the presence of a GateKeeper token and typing of a secret PIN to authenticate.

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

Force PIN Login Timeout: GateKeeper can force users to type 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 confirm their identity at required intervals. If the timer is set to 1 hour with the Automatic Login mode, then the users will be required to log in with their PIN after every 1 hour.

Require user to enter Windows/macOS password

Set on Client computer:	Allows end-users to choose the settings on the Client application.
Never:	GateKeeper will never ask for your Windows or Mac username and password to authenticate.
At Login:	GateKeeper will ask for Windows or Mac username and password only when you log into your account using their token.
Always:	Any time a user unlocks their computer with their token, they will be asked for their Windows or Mac username and password.

Windows/macOS standard login

Set on Client 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:	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.

Unlock Method defines how GateKeeper will unlock your computer. We recommend GateKeeper with PIN option for secure 2-factor authentication (2FA).

Automatic Login	Unlocks automatically when you arrive at your computer with your GateKeeper token.
Press Enter Key to Login	Requires you to have your GateKeeper token and press the Enter Key. Great for shared locations so that computer can know which user’s key to log in with.
Touch Login	Requires users to touch their GateKeeper token key fob (or phone) to the USB proximity sensor in order to log in.
GateKeeper with PIN Login	2FA: requires a user to have their GateKeeper token (possession factor) and to type in a secret PIN (knowledge factor). Most secure method.

Quick Return Timeout allows the same returning user to automatically unlock the computer ONLY if the same user comes back to the same computer within this time period. Please keep in mind that this setting is only applicable when the Unlock Method is set to GateKeeper + PIN. Useful for the same person coming and going from the same computer in short intervals.

Force PIN Login Timeout forces users to type their PIN to login irrespective of their chosen Unlock Method if the user comes back the computer AFTER this predetermined PIN Login Timeout period. Use this to force users to type in their PINs at this predetermined interval for daily or weekly security checks.

Require user to enter Windows password option gives the user an option to enter their username and password IN ADDITION TO GateKeeper authentication. Users can be forced to type in their username/password at every unlock, or only when logging on to the computer. Recommend setting this option to NEVER.

Windows Standard Login enables/disables the standard Windows login method (username/password) for your computer. If you choose to disable the default login method, then you can ONLY access your computer with your GateKeeper. Please keep in mind that if you forget your PIN or lose your GateKeeper key, you will not be able to access your computer.
