"Screen Pass provides password protection for your network-attached computer. Security is provided by the Network Operating System that is running on the LAN. Once installed, Screen Pass acts as any other screen saver on the Windows Workstation, but it requires the user's authenticated, network password to deactivate. A device driver is installed that prevents rebooting to deactivate the screen saver. This is about the best level of protection users can expect without encrypting the entire hard drive. When the screen saver is active, people can leave messages that appear when the user unlocks the PC. Other security measures include preventing users from changing the screen saver, central management, and local password options in case the user isn't logged into the network. Inactivity time-outs can automatically log users off of the network, too. Failed login attempts are recorded and can be reported on, along with statistics on user logins, elapsed time, and user id. The network security can be used on Novell, Windows NT, and Banyan Vines networks."

Infoworld Review

"Screen Pass is a simple and elegant extension of the Windows Screen Saver that simplifies life for users and managers. ... It uses users' network passwords to unlock the screen saver, and it lets the system manager unlock the PC with the network administrator's password. ... Screen Pass promises to make my life a lot easier and is a welcome addition to my tool kit."
