Need T420 ThinkVantage Password Manager for Dummies

OK. I"m an idiot. How is the password manager supposed to work? The "help" section says this about making a new entry: When you type in a user name and password for the first time in a particular Web site or Web page that requires this information, Password Manager automatically displays the following prompt: "Would you like to save this Web Site with Password Manager?"
I have created several new user names and passwords at sites since using this new computer, and I have yet to see the Password Manager ask any questions. What am I missing?

you have to have at leased a windows password set before you can use it for web logins
also in the settings make sure the check box is checked
your will look different

ThinkVantage Password Manager unable to recognize fingerprint reader

Hi, I have a X220 running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. My ThinkVantage Password Manager version is 3.20.0333.00, and my fingerprint reader driver version is 1.5.0.289 from AuthenTec. My ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software version is 5.9.5 build 7038.
However, when authentication is required for the Password Manager, a Client Security Solution pops up showing "The requested operation requires fingerprint authentication, but the device is not installed. Please make sure the device is connected and retry the operation."
I am also unable to find the "enroll fingerprint" option in my Password Manager.
Anyone have similar problems? Thanks.

Did this work previously, and it just stopped working?
What version of Client Security Solution is installed? To use that version of Fingerprint software, it needs to 8.30.0049 (or later)

Thinkvantage Password Manager - Which Browsers supported?

I am currently using an Edge 15" running Windows 7 (64 bit) and Firefox 3.6.12. I have Thinkvantage Password Manager (3.20.0330.00) installed together with a fingerprint reader.
The password Manager is not opening when I log into web sites to capture the login info because Firefox has disabled the add in associated with it due to compatibility problems.
Can anyone suggest a browser that does work properly with the password manager?. If possible I would like to avoid IE and stick with an earlier version of FF - do any of the earlier versions work?
What's been your experience?
Regards

Hello guys,
Here is a patch for Firefox 3.6 : http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-75278
Works well for me.

X200 ThinkVantage Password Manager

Hi. We are in the process of removing Local Administrator priveledges for most of our users. One of our users uses the fingerprint reader and ThinkVantage Password Manager software to control his Windows login and his Lotus Notes login on his X200 tablet.
Since removing his local admin priveledges, the user reports that he can no longer login to Lotus Notes using his fingerprint. He is only presented with the normal Lotus Notes login screen. When attempting to launch the Password Manager by pressing the blue ThinkVantage button above the KB and then selecting Manage, nothing happens. If his local admin rights are restored, he can login to Lotus Notes with his fingerprint, and the Password Manager launches properly.
Does anybody have any tips to get this working without local admin rights? Thanks!

Hi,
first I would like to make a short explanation on how Fingerprint and CSS (Client security Solution aka Password Manager) are working in this situation:
After you confugred the system and the user swiped his fingers into the FPR applications and sensor, it hase captured also all other metadata, like the user role, name, domain, etc.
In case anything changes, then the application will react accordingly and in your case it will just kind of react, like if it would not recognize the login for Lotus notes.
So here is what I would advice to do:
- remove all the swiped fingers from the FPR for the user, that you want to change (remove the Admin account) and make the appropriate changes to the system and the account
- first of all as an Admin enter Fingerprint console and configure it , so that also a non-Admin user can log on and use the Fingerprint:
Settings->User Privileges-> check all the boxes, that are in this tab
- log on as the affected user
- swipe the fingers and make sure, that also CSS is configured, as it was previously
- reboot the machine
This should be enough, to get the metadata corrected and the new, or better say the old user will be able to use the ususal Fingerprint loging without any problem.
Please let me knwo, if you will have any add questions, or will have this situation tested.
Cheers

ThinkVantage Password Manager incompatible with Firefox 7.0.1

I've updated my Firefox to 7.0.1 and have noted the greyed out message within the FFox add-ons that the ThinkVantage Password Manager is incompatible with Firefox 7.0.1 I have search for a fix or patch from Lenovo that address this issue with this version of FFox but have not found any solutions. Does anyone have an ear to a possible solution? Thanks!
Moderator edit: Removed javascript from post.

Hi,
There is a patch for FF support.
Please check the link below,
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technologies/Password-Manager-compatibility-issue-with-Fire...
If you are using FF8.0 and it is not working after the patch is installed.
To the following steps:
Disable password manager extension from FF,
And find the file "tvtpwm_jstypes.xpi" and drag it into FF to reinstall the extension.
This file is usually in folder, "c:\swtools\css83_firefox5_patch"

Do any versions of FF support the use of Lenovo's ThinkVantage Password Manager s/w and fingerprint scanner?

Lenovo Edge 15" laptop running Windows 7 (64 bit) and using Thinkvantage Password Manager Ver 3.20.0330 and TouchStrip Fingerprint Sensor (UPEK).
The password manager is to set to restrict logins to websites to fingerprint but when logging into websites I am not given the option to use the fingerprint reader -(the login info stored in the P/W manager is entered and login takes place). I have seen elsewhere that FF 3.6 has problems supporting this combination and wonder if any earlier versions of FF would be suitable or if FF 4 is likely to support it.
Any help would be appreciated

I would recommend, if you have it set, to go to a restore point before you uninstalled the password manager version that did not give you a problem and not use the new version until this bug is resolved.
If the fingerprint light is not showing up, then it is probably not limited to you and I hope Lenovo checks it out.
Too bad the newer version seems to load slowly - I will check it out as well.

Does ThinkVantage Password Manager work with Firefox 3.6. Earlier versions it would not work.

Last time I installed Firefox it would not load Lenovo ThinkVantage Password Manager as a plug in. Since then I have not used Firefox. I would like to again try Firefox but thought I would ask the question first. Can I use ThinkVantage Password Manager with Firefox 3.6?

Lenovo have released a patch that will make the ThinkVantage Password Manager work with Firefox 3.6 and higher. You can download it from:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-75278
I've just installed it and it works perfectly now.

T510 Thinkvantage password manager and hotmail

The thinkvantage password manager seems to recognize passwords in some sites but not others. Most notably, no matter what I do, it does not seem to recognize hotmail, so no option ever comes up to add the hotmail password to the password manager when I log in to hotmail.
Does anyone know how to make password manager recognize the password field in hotmail? Is there any way to manually add a website to password manager? I can seem to find one.

Hello mate,
Password manager doesn't work with Hotmail. Probably a compatibility problem. You can't do much about that, you can create a scratch pad if your are afraid to forgot your password but that's almost it.

Disable ThinkVantage Password Manager

Hi there,
I'am a new member of this communitty and this is my first thread.
I'am using a T61p running Windows XP and I want to disable the ThinkVantage Password Manager and fingerprint reader but I cant find a way to do this. Hopefully ther is somone here that can explain this.
Thanks

This is an old thread, but in case others find it (like I did), here is an update:
I had the same problem (ThinkPad X201s, Win 7 32, latest Msft and Lenovo updates). I made the mistake of trying to use the fingerprint reader with my overly dry hands (gave up after hand cream, hundreds of failures and only a few successes).
I disabled the fingerprint reader in a"Biometric Devices" control panel. I didn't try other ways, but I did find settings that might disable it in System->Device Manager, and in BIOS.
But once I had tried to use the fingerprint reader, the Password Manager wouldn't go away.
I found a way to turn this thing off by opening C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution, and then running the program called css_pwmgr_toggle.exe
This program appears to do exactly what I wanted (turns off the ThinkVantage Password Manager in the systray/notification area).
Note that this procedure does NOT remove Client Security from the Startup tab in msconfig (a suggestion I've seen in other posts).

ThinkVantage Productivity Centre/Password Manager for Windows 7 Beta?

Hi, i've noticed that there's no beta build of ThinkVantage Productivity Centre for Windows 7 Beta. Is Lenovo intending to release one?
But most important of all(my main question actually), is that can Password Manager be made available? I found it quite useful in Vista and would realy appreciate the availability of it for Windows 7 Beta

Christian,
Try going to the Fingerprint Software Settings and check-mark the box that says "Use fingerprint scan instead of password when logging into Windows." This will allow you to use the finger scaner to log-in. As far as saving user names and passwords, you will need to download the ThinkVantage Client Security Solution:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=migr-46391
Unfortunately Windows 7 is not yet supported.
Does anyone have a link to the beta ThinkVantage Client Security Solution for Windows 7?

A password manager for Midori

Hello to everyone,
being a would-be Midori user that lacks a password manager, some time ago I made a script that worked as a password manager. Now I've made a Midori extension for this task and made it available on AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49314. From the README file in the package:
The password manager extension for Midori is based on formhistory.c and on my
userscript for password management (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/62098).
It works by reading the network passwords with domain "midori" from the login
keyring and storing them in a GHashTable. Whenever your browser loads a page
with a corresponding address in the GHashTable, a script that inserts user
and password is built and executed on that page. Whenever you submit a login
form, a similar script is built and executed, and returns the new data, which
is stored in the GHashTable and in the login keyring.
When you choose to never store a password for a site, the extension will store
a user/password pair equal to __never_store_here__/whatever. The user part of
the pair (i.e. __never_store_here__) is used to remember that passwords must
not be stored.
Sometimes the extension fails to detect that a form has been submitted, so it
won't store your user/password pair. In such cases use the lpins utility to
manually insert the pair into the login keyring, like this
$ lpins http://www.averystrangelogin.com user password
Note that the pair is inserted in the login keyring, not in the GHashTable, so
you need to deactivate/reactivate the extension so it'll read the new pair.
Missing features:
* I don't know how to check when the login is successful, so wrong user-
password pairs will be stored.
* There isn't a utility for listing/deleting/modifying passwords, use seahorse
for these tasks (Midori passwords have domain "midori").
* I don't know how to deal with password forms that uses md5hash for basic
protection (like ubuntu forums), so the extension won't work for these sites.
Please note that I'm not an expert in internet security, crypting algorithms,
javascript programming or webkit programming, so use this extension at your
own risk.
I sent this extension upstream, but the author, Christian Dywan, would like to have it merged with form history. Which is beyond the limited time I can spend on these activities.
Please send bug reports and comments in the AUR comments area of the package.

You should really consider calling support and having them clarify their licensing agreements for you, because you are grossly incorrect about almost everything you've said.
RoboForm Everywhere and only RoboForm Everywhere is an annual subscription (allowing you to use any RoboForm product on all of your devices for one annual fee).
the RoboForm Desktop and RoboForm2Go products are still a one time charge for the life of the version and do not have to be renewed annually at all. They do not expire.
Also, what older mac version are you hoping to revert back to? RoboForm for mac was just released as a full version (not a beta) within the past few months. Mac users cannot revert back to an older version of the Mac software because there is no older version. If you purchased a license of your mac, the current version is still included with the license you already own. There is no previous version.
Although the .rfp filetype is used only by RoboForm and not compatible with other password managers, you can still export the data to create a backup. You can also created a printed list of your data if needed.
You are not entitled to Windows 7 for free just because you bought Windows Vista and RoboForm (as well as most software) is no different. I understand why you may be unhappy about the upgrade but you should research more.
Also, LastPass has had multiple security breaches in the past year, RoboForm has had none in the history of the company, just something to think about.

How do I Disable ThinkVantage Password Manager

I have a new Lenovo T400. ThinkVantage has a password manager that pops up almost continuously when I'm browsing the web and, quite frankly, it's irritating. How do I disable the password manager?

Hmmmm, as far as I know, the "Password Manager" is installed with the "Client Security Solution". Anyway, if you are using windows XP and you have not uninstalled the "Client Security Solution", you can run it manually as following:
Windows --> Start --> Run --> "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution\css_user.exe" /startmenu
But there is another option. You can disable Password Manager per-application. For example if you want to disable it for Internet Explorer try this
Password Manager --> Set Preference --> General --> Application Support --> Uncheck the Internet Explorer.
You can turn it off for all applications by disabling available options.

MSecure Password Manager for WIN 8 Phones not here...

For anyone the presently uses the messes mSecure Password Manager app on a IOS or DROID system, the bad news if I was told by the developers that there is not a version for the WIN 8 phone - yet. They justt finished the version for tablets, and will begin work on the phone version. However, they could not give a release date. So if you are like my you are stuck carrying both your Win 8 phone and iPod if you need access to mSecure entries. :-(

Not sure what you are talking about here but if you are trying to create recovery disks you may be too late after performing the update. If indeed recovery manager is missing, it cannot be download. See this:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03489643
Should you be talking about a hard disk image you should be looking at a program like Macrium Reflect Free and perform the image ideally to an external hard drive.

I get a notification on my computer that I need to update and can only do so my visiting the site EVEN though I have signed up for automatic and I find it IMPOSSIBLE to find where and what needs to be updated. This should be VERY simple. EWhty is it so complicated and why do I have to visit the site?

Calmly describe your situation.
