OneSign® "Tap N Go"
OneSign® Tap N Go (formerly known as Imprivata OneSign) is a convenient way to unlock and lock your computer or workstation using your Proximity Access Card (prox card).
You need to re-type your password only once every 4 hours during the day, saving you time and possible frustration from having to log on to a computer every time you want to use it.
When Tap N Go is installed, you may notice changes on your device and a different login screen.
