Key features
●
Password Manager acts as a personal password vault,
streamlining the logon process with the Single Sign On feature,
which automatically remembers and applies user credentials.
● Single Sign On also offers additional protection by requiring
combinations of different security technologies, such as a Java™
Card and biometrics, for user authentication.
● Password storage is protected through software encryption and
can be enhanced through the use of security device
authentication, such as Java Cards or biometrics.
NOTE: Credential Manager functionality is found in the Password
Manager option of HP ProtectTools Security Manager

content, or other confidential data) on your computer and
periodically bleach the hard drive.

devices based on user profiles.
