Overview: NoPass™ Desktop Unlock
NoPass™ Desktop Unlock is a feature of the NoPass™ Desktop application that a user can install on their computer. This feature represents an alternative method of interactive user authentication and access management on machines running the Windows operating system.
As an intermediate member, NoPass™ Desktop Unlock provides the connection between the NoPass™ server and your corporate server to provide passwordless authentication and Two-Factor authentication as an option when accessing a Windows desktop computer.
NoPass™ Desktop Unlock has two main advantages over other methods of user account protection (such as generating temporary passcodes that are valid within a limited period of time):
- Security: the user can use their smartphone as an access key to their PC.
- Usability: the user doesn't need to enter the password to their PC manually.
