OnScreen Logon Utilities for Windows 8

The OnScreen Logon Utilities for Windows 8 have been provided to bring flexibility to the implementation of Pen and Touchscreen systems without requiring a physical keyboard. By using the OnScreen Logon Utilities, the following benefits can be realized:

• Consistency in the user interface

• Flexibility for different screen resolutions and user interfaces

• Secure Logon operation without the need for a physical keyboard

• Control of user input options may provide additional security (e.g. limiting keyboard layout in conjunction with other logon authentication tools)

OnScreen can also interact with the new Start Screen and provide several options to customize the logon/startup sequence.

In addition, the Automatic Logon option has also been incorporated as a convenience within this utility, allowing a fixed user/password combination to start up Windows 8 without any user interaction required.

Important Notes

• The proper configuration and implementation of this utility requires a user with Administrator rights

• Proper licensing is required or the Logon module will revert to a demonstration and eventually disable itself

• All configuration should be done via the OnScreen Logon Utilities program accessible from the Program Menu for OnScreen
