Creating a virtual token
A virtual token works very much like a smart card or USB token.
The token is saved either on the computer hard drive or in the
Windows registry. When you log on with a virtual token, you are
asked for a user PIN to complete the authentication.
To create a new virtual token:
1. Select Start > All Programs > HP ProtectTools Security
Manager.
2. In the left pane, select Credential Manager, and then select
My Identity.
3. In the right pane, under I Want To, click More, and then
click Register Credentials.
4. Click Next.
5. Click Virtual Token, and then click Next.
6. Click Create New, and then click Next.
7. Enter a name and location for the virtual token file
(or click the Browse button to find a file location), and
then click Next.
8. Set and confirm a master PIN and a user PIN.
9. Click Finish.
