Thinkvantage Password Manager

#1 Post by fcampbel » Thu Aug 04, 2011 12:45 pm

I recently started using a T520 and decided to try the Thinkvantage Password Manager. I like it but it seems to have some quirks that I don't understand. I discovered that it automatically logs me on to a database program that I have used for years, which I like. But, the first log on of the day, I have to swipe my finger across the fingerprint reader. After that, if I close that program and restart it, I am logged on automatically. Why won't it log me on the first time?

Also, there is a "maintenance module" that is associated with the same program. It requires a separate log in. Password Manager does not do anything when I start that program and I cannot seem to add it to the list of saved program passwords. Is there a way to add this program?

The only other problem with it is that I almost always use Chrome as a web browser and it does not integrate with it.

For your first question, the reason why it won't log you automatically the first time is to make sure it's you who is unlocking the application and not a random guy using your computer.

I also use Chrome and that's why I uninstalled the password manager after trying it out.

I just started using RoboForm which is a Chrome extension that is a password manager and what is really cool is that it can interface with the fingerprint reader.
