Passfaces for Windows
Passfaces for Windows offers Passfaces' patented strong authentication technology for a Windows environment. It works in all Microsoft® Windows networks and applications allowing network managers to replace or augment password logons with Passfaces to increase overall network security. It strengthens internal Windows domain security and access to Windows applications including:
 Remote email via Outlook Web Access
Applications hosted through Citrix Metaframe
Custom Web Applications
Intranets and Extranets
Passfaces is a unique, out of the box, rapid deployment authentication product that can be used for both local and remote desk top logon. It eases the user burden of password complexity, reduces password related help-desk calls, and stops lost productivity caused by forgotten passwords. Passfaces has built in user training and offers low cost of ownership.
Passfaces Technology
It's true, we never forget a face. We might not be able to associate a name with a face, but the brain can recognize a face for months, or even years after the first encounter. It's that scientific fact that serves as the basis for Passfaces technology. Users are given a random set of faces (typically 3 to 7) to serve as their password. They are taken through a "familiarization process" that imprints the faces in their mind. Users then log into protected systems by selecting their assigned faces from five different groups, each containing nine faces. These groups are presented one at a time until all five of the Passfaces have been correctly identified.
Passfaces for Windows meets Microsoft's requirements for complex passwords and eliminates end user usability problems.
"Passfaces for Windows" works locally on workstations within a local area network and remotely using a standard Web browser. Passfaces' modular format lets you implement only what you need. The simple, effective administration interface makes managing Passfaces a snap and allows gradual user migration to Passfaces. Since Passfaces for Windows uses existing Active Directory user accounts, no additional user database is required. Built-in user training makes deployment fast and easy.
