HP Simplepass not working

[alahiri069]

Hello. My HP Simplepass is not working. I mean whenever I am swiping my registered finger on the fingerprint scanner, I get a message that says "Authentication failed. Please try again." I tried updating my driver and re-registering my finger print but the problem still persits. Please help me fixing it.

Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂 

I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers. 

As I understand the HP Simple Pass isn't working anymore,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

When was the last time it worked?

Have you attempted a system restore to an earlier date it had been working?

Did you attempt to update the BIOS?

While you respond to that, here are a few steps that should help your cause:

• Update the BIOS 

• Enable biometric support 

• Check for Windows support 

• Clean the fingerprint reader 

• Update the device driver 

• Update the fingerprint reader software 

• Find new device drivers if you changed operating systems
