Creating a virtual token
A virtual token works very much like a Java Card or USB eToken. The token is saved either on the
computer hard drive or in the Windows registry. When you log on with a virtual token, you are asked for
a user PIN to complete the authentication.

1. Select Start > All Programs > HP ProtectTools Security Manager.
2. In the left pane, click Credential Manager.
3. In the right pane, click Virtual Token. The Credential Manager Registration Wizard opens.
NOTE: If Virtual Token is not an option, use the procedure for “Registering other credentials
on page 14.”
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Changing the Windows logon password
1. Select Start > All Programs > HP ProtectTools Security Manager.
2. In the left pane, click Credential Manager.

6. Click Finish.
