Using Single Sign On
Credential Manager has a Single Sign On feature that stores user names and passwords for multiple
Internet and Windows programs, and automatically enters logon credentials when you access a
registered program.
NOTE: Security and privacy are important features of Single Sign On. All credentials are encrypted
and are available only after successful logon to Credential Manager.
NOTE: You can also configure Single Sign On to validate your authentication credentials with a Java
Card, a fingerprint reader, or a token before logging on to a secure site or program. This is particularly
useful when logging on to programs or Web sites that contain personal information, such as bank
account numbers. For more information, refer to “
Configuring Credential Manager settings
on page 22.”
Registering a new application
Credential Manager prompts you to register any application that you launch while you are logged on to
Credential Manager. You can also register an application manually.
Using automatic registration
1. Open an application that requires you to log on.
2. Click the Credential Manager SSO icon in the program or Web site password dialog box.
