US 2010/0306842 A1 · Information Processing Apparatus Capable of Authentication Processing Achieving Both of User Convenience and Security, Method of Controlling Information Processing Apparatus, and Recording Medium Recording Program for Controlling Information Processing Apparatus

Abstract

Whether a log-in button has been pressed or not is determined. When it is determined that the log-in button has been pressed, an ID selection screen is displayed. Whether an ID has been selected or not is determined. When it is determined that an ID has been selected, whether a secure printing job is present or not is determined. Thereafter, whether password matching is successfully achieved or not is determined. Thereafter, whether a password image function is ON or not is determined. Then, when it is determined that password matching was successfully achieved and a password image authentication function is ON, password image authentication is carried out.
