User's Manual

Access Preferences
The Access Preferences window lets administrators specify Windows login preferences for all
users of the system.
Enable Dell Secure login
The option to replace the standard Windows ctrl-alt-delete screen enables you to use different
factors of authentication instead of (or in addition to) the Windows password for access to
Windows. You can choose to add a fingerprint as a second factor of authentication in order to
strengthen the security of the Windows login process. Additional factors of authentication can
also be added for logging into Windows, including a smartcard or TPM certificate.
NOTES:
 Enabling Dell Secure login affects all users on the system.
 This option is available only AFTER users have enrolled their fingerprints or smartcard.
 The first time you log in after this option is set, you will be prompted to authenticate to
Windows according to your standard policy, and then you will need to use your new
authentication factor(s) on the next startup.
Disable Dell Secure login
This option disables all Dell Data Protection | Access functions for logging into Windows. When
this is selected, you will revert to your standard Windows login policy.
NOTES:
 If you get an error concerning Secure Windows login when you are attempting to log in,
disable and re-enable the Dell Secure login option.
