StrongPass PC Logon for Windows extends StrongPass technology into the realm of Microsoft Windows account access. With StrongPass PC Logon for Windows installed, a user can log into or change their account password on a Windows computer by scanning a QR code at the logon desktop or by using the Proximity feature. The logon desktop is presented to the user either upon:

  • Signing in a user after booting the Windows OS, after signing out, or after locking the PC.   
  • Switching users     
  • Unlocking a locked user 
  • Change password option after ctl-alt-del.

StrongPass PC Logon can be used with or without internet access as long as both your computer and phone support the Proximity feature using Bluetooth LE. If your computer or phone do not support Proximity, then internet access is required. 


PC Logon is a TeamPlus feature. For more information on how to log into your computer with StrongPass PC Logon for Windows, click here.
