Unlock Method defines how GateKeeper will unlock your computer. We recommend GateKeeper with PIN option for secure 2-factor authentication (2FA). Select Touch Login from the dropdown menu.
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. |
Set Touch Unlock through the Hub admin console
