The program Rohos Logon Key provides numerous enhanced features over and above what our competitors offer. It helps you easily re-use your USB flash drive as a protection key and security token for home and office computer.

Here are some Rohos Logon Key features that have some of the key selling points:

• Rohos integrates into Windows XP welcome screen without disabling fast user switching;
• Supports Windows Vista;
• Integrates into Novell Client login dialog box. The password is auto-entered into Novell's login from USB Key;
• Allows to use USB Key to log in into Remote Desktop;
• Supports U3 smart USB flash drives as well as Memory Cards attached to card reader to be used as a USB Key;
• Blocks user access to USB Flash drive (USB Key). This prevents users from copying/reading files into USB flash drive on the office workstations.
• Restricts access to a PC for certain users based on time factor. Access is limited to a certain amount of time user can stay logged in. When the user's time is up, Rohos will lock the desktop automatically.
• Protect your computer even in Safe Mode. Thus it is not possible to bypass USB Key security by loading computer in Safe Mode.

USB Key security:

• USB Key cannot be duplicated. Logon profile is bound up with a USB flash drive serial number.
• USB Key originality. By default USB Key is bound up with a computer where it was created for login. Another USB Key will be ignored by the program (even with a valid logon profile).
  Computer owner can forbid to use any other USB Key except one for login.
• Protected password. By default USB Key does not contain your Windows password in plain form, but only Encryption Key pair that is used to reconstruct password for login operation.
• Two-factor authentication by using PIN code for USB Key. This is a small password with only 3 attempts to enter, that is required when you login by USB Key.

• Works with all major Windows authentication services: Local login, Network/AD login, Novell Client login, Remote desktop login. It does not disable nwgina.dll or msgina.dll activity.
• Rohos Logon Key integrates with the standard msgina.dll authentication module without replacing its functionality. Thus, no compatibility problems will be encountered just because you have installed Rohos.
• For remote users: it is not required to install Rohos on every PC where you do remote connection using USB key login.
• USB Key Management utility. Included into Rohos Logon Key Server version and allows to set up USB login sticks for hundreds of users.
• MSI installation package with command line switches.
• Support password expiration/renewal policies in Windows, including Remote Desktop connection. The USB Key will be updated with a new password;
• The program can disable access to USB removable drives. The USB drive can be used only to login\unlock system.
• Installation guide that thoroughly describes all aspects of using Rohos Logon Key in the corporate environment with deployment examples.
