If the three-factor authentication is enabled (the Enable Biometric ID verification checkbox is checked in the Change Biometric ID window), biometric authentication will be performed after the user activates the Key, and the PIN of the Key is successfully verified (if the Key is PIN protected). The software will automatically read the biometric identifier stored on the Key and will ask the user to provide their biometric data (scan the fingerprints, pronounce the authentication phrase etc.). In case the BIO ID provided by the user does not match the template stored on the Key, the user will be asked to repeat the biometric authentication. The authentication routine is successful only when the data provided by the user are identical to the biometric template stored on the Key. This approach ensures that only an authorized user can get access to the secret data. Thus, even if the Key is lost or stolen, no unauthorized user will get access to the secret disk.
