  • Simple pass not working windows 10

    simple pass not working, does not recognise windows password at start to gain access to system, no flashing light, driversin software only go to windows 8.1.How do I reset the lot or reinstall simple pass?

    I have an HP Elitebook 8760W.  I cannot get Simplepass or Windows Hello to recognize my Validity VFM-471 fingerprint reader.  I'm not sure I have the right driver installed for the Validity hardware.  Could someone please point me to a link for the proper Win 8.1 driver?   I'm trying to make this work on Windows Pro 64 Bit.   I have tried everything to make this work.  Both Simplepass and Window Hello recognize the fingerprint read while I'm setting it up, but when rebooting and trying to log in with the fingerprint function - it doesn't act like it is even working.  I've tried all of the suggestions on the instructions to no avail.  The Laptop works just fine without the fingerprint scanner, and I guess I can live without it, but I've been used to using it on Windows 7 for so long, I'd like to have it working agian.  Any suggestions or hellp would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Annamalai007 
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers.
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I see that your Simplepass was working until this morning when  it was not.  You have uninstalled and reinstalled software and updated the drivers but no change.
    Was there any updates installed?
    Have you tried dong a restore back to when it was all working?  HP PCs - Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
    Next I would do a Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8).
    If the issue still remains I suggest you do a recovery back to factory.  HP PCs - Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8) .  During the recovery process you will notice an option to backup your personal files to prevent data loss.  If you have not recently done one I suggest you do one now.

  • Hp Simple Pass Not working with Bank Accounts?

    Hi,
    I bought the HP Envy Touvhsmart j-158ca, but i am having lots of trouble using this for loging into my bank accounts ( TD Canada Trust, Scotia Bank, Bank of Montreal..., any bank...). I cannot login to these banks at all. I contacte the Hp department, they asked me to perform a driver update, BIOS update, REcovery, Unistall/Reinstall Simple Pass,....... Has HP downgraded its new fingerprint reader from Digital Persona? The old Digital Persona used to login to any of these bank accounts flawlesssly, but now, its impossible with the new Simple Pass. 
    Can someone confirm if HP has really downgraded its finger print reader. 
    I want to return this laptop now, because this simple pass doesnt work anymore! for banks!.

  • Simple Pass not working with Windows 7 Premium

    I have a Pavillion Notebook, model dv6-6b51sa running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit O/S
    For some time now my Simple Pass has not worked. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the programme but to no avail. I have read several posts to the community here and have tried just about all recommendations including; hard reset, system restore (in case it had anything to do with Windows updates) a BIOS update and shutting down and rebooting after each process.
    Now, having reinstalled Simple Pass (from the HP Support website) , biometric devices do not even feature in Device Manager!
    Can anyone kindly offer me assistance?

    Hi @tagl
    Welcome to HP Forums! I will be happy to help with the SimplePass problem you are experiencing. The fact you are missing a biometric device in your Device Manager would be a problem because for it to work you need the software and the accompanying biometric device. Here is the Validity Fingerprint Sensor Driver, install that and then see if you are able to use your fingerprint reader.

  • Simple pass not working with Chrome

    I've seen this posted numerous times (some posts going back to 2012) and I have yet to see an answer that works. I just bought a windows 7 machine with simple pass.  Simple pass simply does not work with chrome. The only time it works is when I log on to windows itself. Everything is new and up to date, and simple pass is configured correctly. 
    This is one of the reasons why I bought this machine, and it just doesn't work. Can someone, anyone, tell me how to make it work?

    It does work with IE Explorer but I have to use Chrome for work

  • Simple pass not working - Win 10 Preview

    Hi, Simple pass is not working on Windows 10.  When I load it up it says that I seem to have some trouble - do you want to try again... but I don't get any further... trying the Win 10 Preview log in (PC Settings)  with finger print gives an error.  I saw : http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/HP-SimplePass-Identity-Protection-Validity-fingerprint-and/m-p/742013 but it was for Win 7.    Is there something I can do to get finger print working ? my laptop is : HP Pavilion DV6 6053ea

  • HP Simple Pass not working with Windows 8.1 64bit

    I had been using HP Simple Pass with my HP ENVY dv 6 64-bit (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz). Now with installation of some updates during last few weeks, the HP Simple Pass  is not working. I have downloaded sp61399 package and reinstalled the software but at the time of registering finger, it says "it looks you're having some trouble. Do you want to try again" I have tried again and again but the result is same. I also downloaded "HP SimplePass_V6.0.100.276.msi" and tried to install it but its install never completes and is terminated asking for another file in the middle. Please let me know how I can get rid of this problem?

  • HP Simple Pass not working with fingerprint snanner

    I have just purchased a new laptop namely the HP Envy 17. One of the primary reasons for me aquiring this product as apposed to other similar products was due to the built in fingerprint scanner.

    Can anyone assist with a simple fix as this has really blurred my perception of HP products as a whole.
    Thanks

    It appears that the HP Simplepass isn't working correctly for you. I will try to assist you with this.
    Start by making sure all updates have been completed on the notebook.

  • HP Simple Pass not working correctly

    When I first bought my HP Envy 15.6" Notebook the HP Simple Pass worked correctly. It would save my passwords and it would also log me in using my finger print. After a few altercations with updating and having to recover my laptop, HP Simple Pass constantly asks for my passwords, will never connect to servers, and has no finger print software anymore. All of my drivers are up to date. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

  • Simple Pass Not Working with Chrome Version 42.0.2311.90 m

    SimplePass stopped working today.  I noticed a while ago that I no longer had to manually add the Website Logon extension anymore.  A small window popped up with a warning about using developer extensions and SimplePass worked.  Website Logon extension is enabled, but SimplePass isn't working.
    Does anyone know I can fix this?  Many thanks in advance.
    As a last resort, I have gone back to a previous restore point.  Now SimplePass is working.  However, I would still like resolution as I expect to encounter this problem again with other updates, etc.  Can someone tell me what Windows Update may have caused the problem so I can not apply that particular update?
    Thanks again.

    Hi @mellman ,
    Welcome to the HP Support Community! I hope you enjoy your time with us.
    I see that you are having a problem with SimplePass not working with Chrome. This has been a problem for a while now as Google Chrome made some changes about what extensions are available from their webstore and how they work.  You can try the steps in this HP Forums post to see if that fixes the issue for you.

    Hi Nelbok1724,
    I see that you are having problems with your fingerprint reader on your HP ultrabook, is this correct?
    I have a few questions for you so that I can help?
    How long have you been having the problem?
    What troubleshooting steps did you perform?
    I am including several links that can help solve the problems with the fingerprint reader.
    This link has steps to resolve the issue by using system restore options and the HP recovery manager.
    This link has more extensive troubleshooting steps for resolving fingerprint reader problems.
    This last link is to a thread with customer's with a similar problem, the most common fix is uninstalling the drivers and software for the fingerprint reader from device manager and restarting the pc. The pc will automatically reinstall the drivers after restarting.

  • Hp simple pass not compatible with ff 4.0

    with ff 3+ my finger swipe for simple pass worked beautifully. Once I updated to ff 4.0 it no longer registers. I get error messages about not being linked and then ff glitches and has to be restarted. It works fine on my int explorer or other browsers.

    The company that make the bioscanner for HP have abandoned it. For more details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388
