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 smart card, fingerprint reader, or 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 “
Configuring Credential Manager
settings,” later in this chapter.
Registering a new application
Credential Manager prompts you to register any application that you launch while you are logged on to
Credential Manager. You can also register an application manually.
