Windows PC and server login with a USB dongle

Store Windows login credentials in a password-protected dongle. Users stay logged in while it is attached — remove it and the screen locks.

GoSafe dongle

How it works

  • User name and password are stored in the GoSafe dongle; the user enters only the dongle password
  • Login details are never disclosed to the user
  • Remove the dongle and Windows locks or logs off
  • Administrators can use long, random passwords safely
  • Works for single PCs and Windows Server — directly or over Remote Desktop
  • Useful when staff leave: no shared passwords to change

Remote Desktop

Log on to Windows Server through Remote Desktop with the dongle, including domain logins.

Admin tip

You can hide other credential providers from the Windows logon screen so the dongle is the only way in — see the guide in downloads.
