Chapter 1: Introduction to HP SimplePass
HP SimplePass is biometric software that protects the security of your data through the use
of fingerprint authentication. Fingerprint authentication is performed by scanning your finger
on a fingerprint sensor. SimplePass helps make your digital world more secure, more
convenient and more personal.
After installing the software and restarting your computer you will need to enroll your
fingerprints to create an association between your username, password and your
fingerprints together with automatically generated security keys. All the data is stored in the
user Identity. Use your fingerprint to manage your Identity and online experience.
After you enroll, you will be able to use your fingerprints to:
 Windows Log On: Secure fingerprint log on for Windows.

 Website Log On: One swipe log on to your favorite websites so you don’t have to
remember your passwords.
 QuickLaunch: One swipe to launch news, sports, and your social life.
 Stronger Identity Protection for Websites: VeriSign Identity Protection (VIP) adds
additional identity protection using your fingerprint sensor. Your account is more secure
when your account requires a VIP security code in addition to your user name and
password. The security code will be unique each time you log on. One swipe of your
finger will automatically log you into your account. HP SimplePass will assist you when
a participating website is detected and help you get started.
 KeepSafe (optional): KeepSafe allows you to encrypt your files in a protected folder.
Use your fingerprint to access them.
HP SimplePass makes your online experience more convenient and secure, whether you’re
banking, accessing e-mail, shopping or downloading music or video.

Chapter 2: Enrollment
You may wish to enroll additional fingers or delete fingers from your enrollment. It is
recommended that you always have at least two fingers enrolled.
Enroll Additional Fingers
1. Click on the desired finger. A blue circle will be displayed on the finger tip.
2. Swipe the selected finger across the sensor until your fingerprint is successfully
enrolled. The enrolled finger will have a green circle displayed on your finger tip.
Need additional assistance? Click the Help menu button and select How to Enroll a
Finger.
For one Windows account there can be only one Identity. To enroll another user a
different Windows Account is needed. See Control Panel > User Accounts to create a new
account.
NOTE: The Windows 7 Windows Biometric Framework (WBF) does not permit
enrollments for Guest or Built-in Administrator accounts. Simply create another
account with administrator privileges, or a new standard account. HP SimplePass
will work fine.

Delete Enrolled Fingers

password to unlock your computer.

Chapter 11: KeepSafe (optional)
KeepSafe is an additional fingerprint enabled software application purchased from

KeepSafe allows you to encrypt your files in a protected folder. The folder can be shown on
your Desktop or in Computer. This folder will not be visible for other users sharing the
computer.
When the KeepSafe folder is unlocked, you can work with it as with a standard folder
(delete, copy, or rename files, etc.). Just drag n' drop your pictures, personal files, and
folders into the Safe icon on your desktop. Swipe your finger to lock or unlock your files so
only you can access them. It's that simple!
Installing KeepSafe
1. Run the appropriate 32-bit or 64-bit installation file from the installation folder
manually.
2. Click Next to continue.
3. Click the Browse button to select another installation folder. Uncheck the checkbox
if you do not want KeepSafe shortcut to be placed on your Desktop. Click Next to
continue.
4. Ready to Install the Application dialog appears. Click Next to start the installation.
5. When the installation has completed, click on the Finish button.
6. Click on Yes to restart your computer when prompted. You must reboot your
computer before you begin to use KeepSafe.
Page 23 of 25
7. The installation is now completed. After you restart the computer, the fingerprint
logon to Windows will be enabled. You must enroll your fingers to start using the
software. See Enrollment chapter.
Uninstalling KeepSafe
1. Click Start > Control Panel.

2. Click the Programs > Uninstall a program.
3. Select KeepSafe and click the Uninstall button.
4. Click the Yes button.
5. When uninstallation is completed, click Yes to reboot your computer.
To unlock/lock KeepSafe
Select the folder and right-click to display the context menu and select Unlock/Lock.
Authentication is required for unlocking (fingerprint or master/Windows password).
To add files to KeepSafe

When opened KeepSafe acts as a standard Windows folder so you can easily add or
manage files. There are several options how to add file to KeepSafe:
1. Open KeepSafe. Drag & drop files into KeepSafe folder as when you are working
with standard Windows folder.
2. Open KeepSafe. Copy files into the folder either by using keyboard shortcuts or by
right-click Copy/Paste method.
3. Select the files (or folders) and right-click to display the context menu.
Choose Add to KeepSafe. This way you will be asked whether to keep the original
file or delete it.
Page 24 of 25
Location of KeepSafe
The KeepSafe archive can be found in your profile directory and this location is fixed:
 C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\KeepSafe\keepsafe.swp
It is mostly marked as hidden, so you have to enable hidden files in Explorer first to be able
to see this file (Tools -> Folder options -> View). It is highly recommended to keep a backup
of the KeepSafe archive.
NOTE: HP SimplePass stores its important information (including KeepSafe

information) in an encrypted structure called Identity. If the Identity data are lost,
there is no more the possibility to unlock the encrypted archives using the fingerprint,
because the newly created Identity with re-enrolled fingers does not contain the original
unlock information required. Therefore keeping a backup of your Identity on a safe place
is highly recommended.
