In order to use the pcProx-USB reader as a logon device 
under Windows there are a few considerations to review. 
 
Administrator Considerations 
The issues the administrator will face include: 

.  To increase 

security several company have adopted a policy 
that requires users to change password every xx 
number of days.  To keep this policy in place, 
you will need to have users password include 
both the proximity data as well as a user 
supplied PIN.  The PIN is the portion that the 
user will change periodically. 
 
Complex Passwords

.  To keep this policy in 

place, you will need to have users password 
include both the proximity data as well as a user 
supplied PIN.  In this case, since the proximity 
data is completely numeric, any alpha and 
upper/lower case letter constraints will be 
handled in the user supplied PIN portion of the 
password. 
 
User Password Knowledge

.  If the policy 

requires that the user have difficulty learning 
their entire password, the administrator may 
configure parameters in the reader to make it 
more difficult to re-produce the password. See 
the section labeled ‘Increasing Security’ below.
