The following table shows how LASS authentication compares with standard password authentication.
| Concept | Password authentication | LASS authentication |
|---|---|---|
| Basic mechanism | A password is the only mechanism available to authenticate the user. | LAPs are replaceable authentication mechanisms that include password, smartcard, fingerprint, and more for authentication. |
| Verification | CheckPassword is used to authenticate a user. | The LASS functionVerifyUser is used to authenticate a user. |
| Enrollment | SetPassword prompts the user for a password. | CreateEnrollmentConfigDialog is used to enroll the user by obtaining such information as a password or fingerprint. |
| Applicable policies | SetPasswordActive and SetPasswordStatus are used to configure the necessity for passwords at startup. | Authentication Events (AEs) provide versatility for setting policies that determine when user verification should occur. |
