– For a while Rohos Logon doesn’t verify OTP. See this notes. But we are already working on this solution.

Most likely the first version that we’ll release will be a simple Screen Lock and Unlock by means of USB flash drive. The peculiar properties we had encountered:

  • Mac OS X not always automatically installs USB flash drive. That’s why you should install it yourself
  • There is no module like GINA.dll in Mac OS X, that would help performing authorization in the system
  • In Mac’s login window is impossible to get access to other’s account and to place there an optional text

The presented analogues of computer security solutions that already exist (e-Tokens, etc) are more convenient for company usage rather than for usual user.

The first beta version will be due by the end of this summer.

  • High Windows security with a huge and secure password using USB Key. It is automatically entered from USB Key when you login/unlock computer.
  • Automatic Windows lock when user unplugs USB Key from computer
  • USB Key security: 2-factor logon by PIN code, USB key copy-protection. All data are encrypted. Unauthorized Key defense.
