HP ProtectTools Troubleshooting Guide
HP ProtectTools Credential 
Manager—No option to 
Browse for Virtual 
Token during the login 
process
User cannot move the 
location of registered virtual 
token in Credential Manager 
because the option to browse 
was removed due to security 
risks.
The browse option was removed from current 
product offerings because it allowed non-users 
to delete and rename files and take control of 
Windows.
HP ProtectTools Credential 
Manager—Login with TPM 
authentication does not 
give the Network 
Accounts option
Using the Network 
Accounts option, a user can 
select which domain account 
to log into. When TPM 
authentication is used, this 
option is not available.
HP is researching a workaround for future 
product enhancements.
HP ProtectTools Credential 
Manager—Credential 
Manager creates long 
account names that are 
truncated.
When registering a password 
in Credential Manager, the 
user can click Options and 
select Prompt to select 
account for this 
application. User must then 
enter a unique name for each 
document so Credential 
Manager can tell which 
password to apply. When 
creating these unique names, 
Credential Manager fills in 
the application name and the 
user enters the document 
name. In this window, the 
user can scroll to view the 
document name. When 
reopening the 
password-protected 
document, the document 
names cannot scroll. 
Credential Manager 
automatically fills in the 
application name; only 9 
characters can be viewed 
when selecting the unique 
name.
HP is researching workaround for future product 
enhancements.
