HP Envy TS 17-j153 OS/Software :: SimplePass Is Not Working
Sep 17, 2014
I have just buy an HP ENVY TouchSmart 17-j153 with Windows 8.1 and I am trying to set up the fingerprint reader with SimplePass. But the problem is that when I open the HP Utility Center and I try to open SimplePass it just does not open, I click and nothing happens.
When I slide my finger on the scanner nothing happens. When I am creating a password for signing in it gives me the option to use a fingerprint and when I do that the scanner works right but at the moment of sign in nothing happens again, is just like if I was not doing nothing.

When I bought this pc, It was Windows 8. I updated my pc to latest windows 8.1. After first update SimplePass stopped working on every browser except Internet Explorer. It stopped working on the log in screen too. But for no reason it started working on the log on screen suddenly. I contacted HP through chat support. They said SimplePass is designed to work only with Internet Explorer. Other browsers might work or not. That's fine. According to her (HP Agent) SimplePass is still working.
But after the last update SimplePass stopped working totally except the log in screen. I click on the SimplePass icon... no response... I swipe on the finger print reader... nothing happens. But the it only works on the windows log in screen. Bellow is my current pc info. I think HP should update SimplePass.

I upgraded my PC to windows 8.1 sometime back and had no issue with simplepass initially. I then suddenly could not swipe my finger and log in.
I am at a loss as to what to do because, I have depended on using this for lots of my web-sites etc. (keeping my password secure) but now I cannot use my finger print recognition to do so and have to type my master password each time.
I bought this computer for the ease of managing my security but HP has made me loose confidence in their products given the battle I am facing.
I am worried about installing any updated software as one solution suggests because I am not sure it will solve the problem without deleting my exiting password data files etc.

I bought my HP envy 15 about a month ago and originally simplepass was unresponsive it worked perfectly until I installed software (Solidworks). Now the fingerprint scanner lights up on login etc but doesn't recognise the swipe. When I try to open simplepass itself, I press 'Get started' and it starts to load drivers but then disappears. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but my pc had a fit when I restarted and repeatedly restarted for about half an hour saying something went wrong. Eventually I had to take the battery out and the computer gave me to option to reset. Now I'm afraid to change any software myself incase anything goes wrong.

I have the HP envy and I have been using simple pass fine for ages but then I tried to rescan my fingers to fix it because it seemed to be having a lot of trouble recognising me so when I went through I deleted the fingers and tried to input them again but whenever I scan one of my fingers it says that the finger is already enrolled HOWEVER when i scan my finger outside of the program it asks me to setup HP simple pass but when you click configure it doesnt open the program
I have tried repairing the program with the control panel
So How can I reset the program to a fresh install? Is there a place where I can download a replacement copy?

I have an HP ENVY 15-j112tx, which I've had now since the beginning of this year as a replacement for my HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j009tx which broke down at christmas. On my the j009tx, I was able to enrol multiple fingers, the software looked just like the one in the tutorial pictures on the HP website, for setting up simplepass. On this new laptop however, there is no option to enrol more than one finger, I'm not sure how to update or downgrade the software to the one that came with my previous laptop.

I have just bought the HP Envy 15-j140na directly from HP. The laptop is fantastic, however I am having a problem with the fingerprint reader. The computer comes with the simplepass software version 8.00.57 already installed.
The problem I have is that once I have set up the fingerprint reader with simple pass, it doesn't prompt me to scan my print during the windows login and i have to log in normally. I have checked all of the settings and it should be set up, however there is no prompt. Just to note that everything else works fine. I can sign into websites on IE no problem at all using the fingerprint reader. It can be slightly frustrating as this defeats the point of having a fingerprint reader.

HP DV7 6143cl Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit recently updated IE from 9 to 11.
I bought the laptop mid 2011and did not get around to looking at the fingerprint reader until the end of that year. I used it briefly but with very few passwords I un-enrolled my fingerprints and let it sit idle.
Recently I decided to use it again but it was dead. I installed the Validity Fingerprint Sensor driver sp55109.exe and HP SimplePass Identity Protection 2011 sp54680.exe. Upon restart it took me though the fingerprint enrolment process and started working.
The first driver is the actual sensor and the second is the management software, correct?
Very recently I updated Internet Explorer from 9 to 11 and the SimplePass stopped working again. So I repeated the above steps but only overwrote the existing drivers.
It started working again in that I can logon the laptop with a fingerprint and I can assign a website to an enrolled fingerprint to launch but it is no longer asking me if I want simple pass to save passwords.
Could this be related to IE 11?.
I read Dragon Fur's tutorial on SkyDrive: Simple Instructions to Upgrade HP.
Should I try again after I delete the existing fingerprint driver?
I the tutorial mentions an very new driver sp63224 HP SimplePass V6.0.100.276 Win7-8
Would this driver work or am I just overlooking something else as it partially functions?

I am having trouble with HP SimplePass. Every so often it stops working and won't input password details for my saved websites. Moreover, if I then try to log in to any website manully, the web browser just hangs and won't log in. If I untick the option to allow HP SimplePass to log in to my saved websites, and then reboot my laptop, I can then log in to websites again. However, if I later re-enable Simple Pass it starts working again, only for the problem to resurface at a later date. Due to the sporadic nature of the problem I have been unable to pinpoint the cause, and, as far as I am aware, I have the most recent version of SimplePass.
I am using a HP Pavilion 15-n271ea Laptop (Windows 8.1), with Internet Explorer 11.

I own a Envy Dv6 operating Windows 8.1... After one particular shut down, all my USB ports refused to work.
I checked my device manager and it showed that all my USB controllers are working properly, but under other devices three new unknown device showed up with an yellow triangle containing an exclaimation mark showed up. Right clicked and it says that the driver is not installed, but I can't seem to find any that the system is willing to recognise.Without USB ports these days, I find it difficult to function properly.

I recently replaced a HDD with a new SSD into my Hp Pavilion dm4 1265dx and did a re-installation of windows. I have already downloaded and installed most of the drivers required but I am having a hard time trying to find and install Hp Simple pass identity/finger print reader.
Is there anyway to re-install Hp simple pass without having to pay?

Every time I log in to a web site in IE, SimplePass pops up asking is I want to remember the password:
I have the option to remember web site logins turned off:
I could ignore it, but SimplePass is blocking IE from proceeding until I reply.
I am running Windows 8.1 on a brand new Envy Touchsmart 15 15-j151nr laptop.
I like using the fingerprint sensor to log in to windows, but I am going to have to disable SimplePass if I can't get this fixed.

i know that the password that i've entered is correct and i have even tried logging in to HP SimplePass via my windows password.
i have tried lots of troubleshooting by following threads from this forum and also following instructions from the HP support website.
-i have an up-to-date BIOS

-my biometrics device driver version is 3.4.4.84 (latest)

I have an HP Elitebook 8530w with Windows 7 32-bit. I did not buy this laptop, it was a gift from a friend. I have gotten recently, just a few days ago. I have not used the fingerprint sensor previously before today. I went on the HP site and went to get the driver for the fingerprint sensor. Here is the link to that page. I tried to install the AuthenTec Fingerprint Sensor Driver but it did not work, it said the installation process was interuppted and to try again later. So I tried again later and the same happened. So I uninstalled and checked to see if there were any later versions. I had not looked to see that the original one I installed from the drivers page was from March 17 2010.
I did some researching around and found version 6.0.100.272 of HP Simplepass (The AuthenTec Driver had HP Simplepass installation included). I installed this version and it worked. I opened it up and it prompted me to enter my windows account password. So I did. I then clicked Set Up Windows Log On and it told me to enter my Windows password again. I did but it didn't work So I tried again... and again... and again... It didn't work no matter how many times I tried. I tried restarting my laptop and changing my account password. Neither worked. So I'm confused as to what could be the problem. I would very much like to use this feature.

I just purchased an Hp Envy m6 notebook PC m6-n168ca to replace my last Envy with a corrupt OS. I have a Microsoft wireless mobile mouse 4000 to use with it and I plugged in the usb connector and it installed automatically and successfully apparently. Unfortunately, the mouse is not being recognized on the screen. It works on my other laptops so i know it's not the mouse. This is my first touch screen laptop though so I am wondering if it has something to do with that? The trackpad mouse function works fine but I need to be able to use the mouse and the touch pad. Is this possible? Is there something I have to toggle on or off? How to change the mouse click settings and stuff.

I have had my ENVY 6-1040ca for the past 2 year now, and suddenly my laptop started to overheat. After I started getting an error on my laptop every time I started my laptop I got System Fan (90b) error message on start-up.
First I thought it was dust that was clogging the fan so I cleaned it with the air compressed can. I tired that and still did not work. So I got curious and opened my laptop to see why the fan was not working. It turned out that the fan would start then stop start and keep doing that. Even when running a game (or any other high performance application) it would still do that.

Product: HP Envy 17 Notebook PC
Operating System: Windows 8.1
When I try and use the USB ports on my laptop, the system does not acknowledge the device is plugged in, nor allows the device to operate. There are no error messages and the safetly remove hardware icon does not appear. This problem began after I ran a couple of Windows Updates before shutting my computer down for the night.
The devices worked properly before but have since stopped. Multiple devices have been tried, but to no avail.

Got a new Envy 15t and spent a couple of hours with it and then left town and had a big project and when I came back 3 weeks later and powered up, the password I always use didn't work.
If I had used a new/different password when I set this up, I would have written it down and I can't find anything in the file that would suggest I didn't use my normal PC password.
Is it possible that I never reset the password? If so, is there a standard password that the laptop is shipped with?

I have a HP ENVY 17-j070ca, and a few months ago my fingerprint reader stopped working. I have tried running the program multiple times, but it too refuses to launch. I have reinstalled all the drivers, and have used task manager to close out of everything that might cause the program to not launch.

I have a problem with my HP ENVY m6 laptop (Running Windows 8) regarding sound on my headphones. Just as recent as today, when I plugged in my headphones no sound came through. I tried another pair, but got the same result. This laptop is only about 4 and a half months old (Got it in mid-January), and this is a real bummer.
