Secure mode and convenient mode

Fingerprint Software can be run in two security modes, a secure mode and a convenient mode. The secure
mode is intended for situations when you want to achieve higher security. Special functions are reserved for
administrators only. Only administrators can log on using password without additional authentication.

The convenient mode is intended for home computers where a high security level is not so important. All the
users can perform all operations, including editing passports of other users and possibility to log on to the
system using password (without fingerprint authentication).

An administrator is any member of local administrators group. After you set the secure mode, only the
administrator can toggle it back to the convenient mode.

Secure mode - administrator

To enhance security, if the wrong user name or password is typed at logon, the secure mode displays the
following message: “Only administrators can log on this computer with user name and password.”
