Sign in on the lock screen
Without a session, the client PC shows the lock screen. Members sign in with their own account; guests ask the counter to open the PC.
Sign in with a member account

- Click or press any key to show the sign-in box.
- Type Tài khoản (Account — automatically upper-case) and Mật khẩu (Password).
- Click Đăng nhập (Sign in) or press Enter.
Result: Xin chào … (Hello …) appears, the lock screen hides and the Client App opens.
After 45 seconds without input the sign-in box hides so the café background shows clearly.
Guests
Customers without an account ask the counter to open the PC; the lock screen hides by itself. See Open PCs, check out and top up at the counter.
Chat with the counter on the lock screen

Click 💬 Chat với quầy (Chat with counter) under the sign-in box, or the 💬 button in the bottom-right corner, to message the counter before signing in. The café must enable Chat in GCafe Portal.
