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 “
