Credential Manager for ProtectTools
Reference Guide 5–15
Using Single Sign On
Credential Manager has a Single Sign On feature that stores
user names and passwords for multiple Internet and Windows
applications, and automatically enters logon credentials when
you access a registered application.
✎
Security and privacy are important features of Single Sign On.
All credentials are encrypted and are available only after
successful logon to Credential Manager.
✎
You can also configure Single Sign On to validate your
authentication credentials with a smart card, biometric reader,
or token, before logging on to a secure site or application. This
is particularly useful when logging on to applications or Web
sites that contain personal information, such as bank account
numbers. For more information, refer to “Configuring
Credential Manager Settings,” later in this chapter.
