Logging on to Credential Manger
Depending upon the configuration, you can log on to Credential
Manager in any of the following ways:
■
Credential Manager Logon Wizard (preferred)
■
Credential Manager icon in the notification area
■
ProtectTools Security Manager
✎
If you use the Credential Manager Logon prompt on the
Windows Logon screen to log in to Credential Manager, you
are logged in to Windows at the same time.
Logging on for the first time
The first time you open Credential Manager, log on with your
regular Windows Logon password. A Credential Manager
account is then automatically created with your Windows logon
credentials.
After logging on to Credential Manager, you can register
additional credentials, such as a fingerprint or a smart card. For
additional information, refer to “
Registering credentials
” later in
this chapter.
At the next logon, you can select the logon policy and use any
combination of the registered credentials.
