Password Manager For Hp Protecttools - HP 8000 - Elite Convertible Minitower PC User Manual

4 Password Manager for
HP ProtectTools
Logging on to Windows, websites and programs is easier and more secure when you use Password
Manager.
Password Manager allows you to set up the logon screens of websites and programs for quick and
secure access. First, Password Manager learns about your logons and the specific data that you type
in the input boxes of each logon screen. Then, once you are at a logon screen, after verifying your
identity, Password Manager fills in and submits the data automatically.
For even faster access, you can display a menu of your logons by simply using a configurable Hot key
combination (Ctrl-Alt-H is the default). On the menu, simply select a logon and Password Manager will
launch the website or program, navigate to the logon screen and log you in automatically.
To verify your identity you will use your HP ProtectTools credentials, such as your Windows password
or smart card, depending on your computer configuration. This means that you will use the same
credentials to log on to all logon screens you have set up. You can therefore create stronger passwords
that you don't have to write down or remember, and keep your accounts more secure.
Password Manager lets you see at a glance whether any of your passwords are a security risk and can
automatically generate a strong, complex password to use for new sites.
With Password Manager you can also view your logons, including your passwords, and edit them at any
time. Many Password Manager features are also available from the Password Manager icon that
displays whenever the focus is on the logon screen of a program that has been set up or on any website
logon screen. Clicking on the icon displays a context menu where you can choose from among the
following options.
For web pages or programs where a logon has not yet been created:
