Installation Instructions
Before installing 1-Pass, you should disable any existing password on the Pocket PC, and uninstall any other third party password products, which may interfere with 1-Pass.

Once installation is complete, you will be asked to enter your hard & soft passwords. More information of what these are is described in the Entering a password section.

Entering a Password
Pass has two main methods for entering a password:

Hard Key Password
The hard key password is entered using the physical buttons on your Pocket PC device, for example the up/down/left/right/enter buttons, plus the voice record, calendar, contacts, e-mail etc. buttons. The power button is not used.

When 1-Pass is started, the hard key password is entered first. The password can be any length from 1 to 20 buttons long, enabling you to create a very secure password.
Using the hard key password has several important advantages:

• It's much faster to enter your password. When you have to enter a password several times a day this becomes a major consideration.
• You don't dirty your screen by tapping on it with your finger.

Even if you decide to use the soft key password as your primary password, it's recommended you enter a hard key password and store the sequence for future reference, in case you forget your soft key password.

Soft Key Password
The soft key password is entered using the numeric buttons on the 1-Pass password screen. This can be done either with the stylus, or your finger, as the buttons are designed to be big enough to hit with a finger. The password can be any length from 1 to 20 numbers long.

Even if you use the hard key password as your primary password, it's recommended you enter a soft key password and store the number for future reference, in case you forget your hard key password.

When you dock your device, it may ask for your password on the PC. You should enter your soft key password.

Key Locking
1-Pass also allows the option to lock your Pocket PC like you lock the keys on your mobile phone. With this option enabled, the Pocket PC is not password enabled: when you power on your Pocket PC you need to press up then down in quick succession on the keypad to unlock the device. For information on how to enable this feature, see 1-Pass Settings.

The 1-Pass Screen
When 1-Pass asks you to enter a password, the screen displays other items on the screen. Note, this information can be displayed or not displayed. See the 1-Pass Settings section for information on how to do this.

Name / Phone number / E-mail address
If your Pocket PC is lost, it's important that the person who finds it knows who's device it is so they can return it. To this end, 1-Pass displays this information on the password screen.

Clock
When you turn on your Pocket PC, one thing you may want to know is the current time, so you know if you're late for a meeting or not. 1-Pass displays this information as either an analog clock or a digital clock.

Date
On the title bar the current date it shown. This can be hidden if not required.

Battery Bar
If you own Battery Pack from Omega One, battery and memory information can be displayed on the password screen. Note, Battery Pack v5.3 and beyond is compatible with this feature.

Journal Bar
If you own Journal Bar from Omega One, any of the Journal Bar sections (with the exception of "Links") can be displayed. This can be useful to display the 5 day weather forecast, current news headlines, or the latest prices of your favorite stocks. Journal Bar v2.0.3 and beyond is compatible with this feature.

Next Appointment
The next upcoming appointment is displayed. If you're looking at your Pocket PC just so you can see where you need to be next, you don't even need to enter your password!

Background Image
The background image, the title bar and the clock can be swapped out for new images. For more information on how to do this, see Skinning 1-Pass.

1-Pass Settings
To adjust the settings:

• Select Start, Settings, 1-Pass.
• If the password is enabled you will need to enter either the hard key or soft key password.

Password Settings
On this screen the password can be enabled or disabled. The key locking option can also be selected.

Lock if device powered off for:
The amount of time the device is powered off before the password feature is activated can be set between 0 minutes and 24 hours.

Lock if device unused for:
This is only available on Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PCs and newer. The amount of time until the password screen is displayed when the device is left idle can be set between Never and 24 hours.

To change the password, tap the Change Password button.

Screen Settings
Each of the items on the password screen (your name, phone number, e-mail address, the clocks etc...) can be displayed or not displayed in this screen. For example, if you feel your next appointment information is too sensitive for people to see, you can disable showing this information.

By default 1-Pass displays all text with Microsoft's ClearType technology enabled. On most devices this makes the text clearer to read. If you do not want to use ClearType to display the text, this can be unselected here.

When the soft numeric keys are pressed, a key click is heard. If you don't want this sound, it can be disabled here.

To change the color the text appears on the password screen, tap the Set Text Color button. This can be useful if the background image is changed to a light color - the text color can be changed to a dark color.

Version Number
This displays the copyright information and version information of this version of 1-Pass.

Locking the device
Auto Locking
On Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PCs and newer, 1-Pass can lock the device automatically after several minutes (just like your desktop does when you leave it). To see how to change the period of time until 1-Pass is displayed, see the 1-Pass Settings section.

Manual Locking
1-Pass can also be manually locked at any time (and all Pocket PCs support this feature). This can be done in two ways:

Lock Devices Program
Under Start | Programs you will find an icon called Lock Device. Tapping on this program will display the 1-Pass screen.
This program can be mapped to a hard button on the device (e.g. the Voice Record button), so the device can be quickly locked at will. To do this, go to Start | Settings | Buttons, select the button you wish, then select Lock Device from the list of programs.
This program can also be added as a program on the Program Bar, if you have Battery Pack installed.

Power Task
If you have installed Battery Pack, 1-Pass includes an extra item in the Power Task menu (the drop down menu from the close button at the top right of the screen).

Troubleshooting
How can I access 1-Pass's options?
Select Start, Settings, 1-Pass. You will need to enter your password to access the 1-Pass settings..

When I dock my PC asks for a password. What do I enter?
Enter the soft key numeric password you entered when you first started 1-Pass. If you have forgotten your soft key password, go to the 1-Pass options page to change the password (using your hard key password).

I've forgotten one of my passwords!
Go to the 1-Pass options screen to change your password. Use the password you still have to gain access to the options screen and tap Change Password.

I've forgotten both of my passwords!
Please contact us by clicking here.

How do I change the background image?
See the Skinning 1-Pass section.

Why can I see two password programs in the Settings screen?
On certain devices, other password programs may be available in the Settings page (e.g. on the HP iPAQ 5455 / 5555). DO NOT use this password settings application whilst 1-Pass is installed. Using these programs may result in being locked out of your device and having to revert to the factory installed settings.

Why can't I access the "Lock if device unused for:" item?
Original Pocket PC & Pocket PC 2002 devices unfortunately don't support the auto locking feature.

Why aren't my Windows Media Player hard buttons working?
Unfortunately, 1-Pass isn't compatible with using the Windows Media Player hard button controlling feature.
