Windows Logon Problem

Application of biometric methods allows you to significantly increase the security of your confidential information. The market of biometric authentication means already exists. For the majority of companies, firms, small offices, home and mobile computers, where the level of data confidentiality is relatively low, the use of highly expensive biometric systems is not financially justified.

The passphrase analysis method is one of the existing authentication methods. As a rule, it complements the standard password authentication method. For instance, the cost of a biometric system that uses iris scanning lies in the ballpark of 500 dollars, whereas retina scanning systems are priced around 4000 dollars, the cost of the scanner accounting for the largest fraction of the overall cost.

BioKeyLogonBioKeyLogon enables you to extend the standard OS login procedure by using a discreet biometric authentication procedure based on keyboard signature. The developers of BioKeyLogon solved the following problems:
- The influence of the psychophysical condition of the user has been minimized;
- The process of creating the user’s biometric model has been simplified (usually the user had to enter the password at least 20 times);
- The system’s ability to analyze the indistinct keyboard signature of an “average” user has been improved;
- The system now monitors the dynamics of the user’s keyboard behavior and makes appropriate dynamic changes to the user’s biometric model.

BioKeyLogon fully integrates into the system and stays hidden. Users log into the system the same way they did before, but the software discreetly checks the dynamics of password entry. The procedure of discreet biometric authentication based on keyboard signature is used only for those users that keep a reference keyboard signature stored in their system. Other users will use the standard password-protected login. All biometric data of the system users are stored in an additional secure location.

Go to Windows menu, type “msconfig” then enter to activate System Configuration, select “Startup” tab and uncheck as many programs as possible. Method #2 – Lower the priority of start up programs
Use the command below:

C:\Windows\System32\ cmd. exe /c start “title” /MIN {/LOW|/BELOWNORMAL|/NORMAL|/ABOVENORMAL|/HIGH|/ REALTIME} /AFFINITY {1,2,4,8 or Add Up} “directory\program. exe” program_parameters

You need to find HKEYLOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, add the command above in front of existing programs, so every time the program will start at a lower priority to avoid recursive waiting and deadlock between each start up programs, hence smoothen the logon process.

If you want faster logon, you should also enable auto logon.
