  2. How to set a custom face recognition authentication software as second authentication after windows login?

    To set up a custom face recognition authentication software as a second authentication method after Windows login, follow these steps:

    1. Install the Face Recognition Software:
      • Ensure the software is compatible with your Windows version.
      • Follow the installation instructions provided by the software developer.
    2. Configure Face Recognition Software:
      • Open the face recognition software and follow the setup wizard.
      • Register your face by following the on-screen instructions, ensuring it captures your facial features accurately.
    3. Set Up Windows Login:
      • Ensure you have a primary login method set up on your Windows account (password, PIN, or Windows Hello).
      • Go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options and configure the primary authentication method if not already done.
    4. Configure Second Authentication Layer:
      • Open the face recognition software settings.
      • Look for an option to enable the software as a secondary authentication method. This might be under a section like "Security Settings" or "Advanced Settings."
      • Enable the option and follow any additional setup steps.
    5. Set Up Task Scheduler for Automatic Launch (if required):
      • Press Win + R, type taskschd.msc, and press Enter.
      • Click on Create Basic Task in the right panel.
      • Name the task and proceed with the wizard.
      • Set the trigger to At log on.
      • Set the action to Start a program and browse to the face recognition software executable.
      • Complete the task creation process.
    6. Test the Setup:
      • Log out of Windows and log back in using your primary authentication method.
      • Ensure the face recognition software prompts you for the second authentication.
    7. Adjust Security Settings:
      • If the face recognition software allows, adjust the security settings to meet your requirements, such as sensitivity levels and authentication thresholds.
    By following these steps, you should be able to set up your custom face recognition software as a second authentication method after logging into Windows.

  3. How to setup proxy authentication in Windows Phone 8?

    @Lem Access,

    First of all thanks for replay. Can you verify following steps?

    • Double-check that proxy authentication still require.
    • Delete your password, then apply password and check connectivity.
    • while you are connected, what it shows below the SSID? "No Internet access" or "secure/open"
    In my case, after applying proxy any link prompt authentication. after submitting credential, they again prompt for authentication. When I checked "remember password" It won't prompt neither open link.

    How to setup MS Authenticator for Windows

    Windows 7 virtual wifi authentication mode

    Hello.

    Just a quick question to whoever is using windows 7 virtual wifi capability - when you type in "netsh wlan show hostednetwork", cmd window displays a list of settings for your hosted virtual wifi.

    I was wondering, is there a way to change authentication method from WPA2-Personal to simple WEP ?

    Cheers.
