Online authentication

Online authentication occurs when a user authenticates to Windows via Digipass Authentication for Windows Logon, and the client computer can establish a connection to OneSpan Authentication Server via the network. OneSpan Authentication Server performs authentication in real time.

If the OTP credentials are valid, Digipass Authentication for Windows Logon receives the static Windows user password from OneSpan Authentication Server and uses it to authenticate to Windows.
