Use SmartUnlock
There are two ways to use SmartUnlock
- Simple - use the the lock button to lock your workstation and the unlock button to unlock it
- Extended - activate the 'Unlock' and 'Autolock' options in your workstation settings
- Autolock - uses the step counter (if this is available on your smartphone) to lock your workstation automatically
- Unlock - use the spacebar on your workstation to activate your smartphone. You then have two seconds to unlock your workstation by knocking on your phone
Is it secure?
Transparent and high security is one of the most important things about SmartUnlock. In short: we use a two-layer security system. The first layer comprises our SSL connection and the other is our RSA-based security system. In more detail: the workstation part of SmartUnlock creates a public RSA-Key and shares this key over the cloud through our secured SSL connection. The SmartUnlock-app uses this public key to encrypt your password and send it through the SSL connection to your workstation.
