Rohos Logon Key is a utility that enables you to convert a USB stick into a security token for your Windows PC. With its help, you can replace the default password-based login of Windows with a hardware security key such as USB flash drive, Google Authenticator OTP, mobile devices with Bluetooth, etc.
The program is packed with an integrated help manual which provides you with all the information you could possibly need. I'd suggest you read the guide if you're new to this type of Windows tools.
The next thing you need to do is to go to Options and configure the settings according to your needs. You will need to select the preferred authentication device, the type of task you want the program to complete when you eject the device, etc. Afterward, all you need to do is to set up the authentication key.
In my testing, the utility worked flawlessly and didn't use many CPU resources while operating. To be honest, I can't find a single bad thing to say about this program as it does exactly what's being said on the homepage of the developer. What's more, it comes at a very reasonable price.
