System:

HP ProBook 450 G2 Notebook PC

HP SimplePass (of any flavor or version) does not run on business grade computers.

Remove the SimplePass program from Programs and Features > reboot and log into the computer

Business computers, including the Probook notebook series, run "Client Security"

Example, Windows 10 Driver's Page Category Software - Security

Commentary

READ about Client Security and any related software before you install / enable it.  Pay attention to the prerequisites.

To avoid "super-security" (not needed at home), do NOT engage / enable Sure-Key.

Understand that if / when you encrypt your disk, it is not easily undone.

NOTE:

Sure-key and encryption do not break your computer; once set, these are difficult (to impossible)  to remove / disable.

Do NOT encrypt your disk if you plan on Upgrading to Windows 10, else you must decrypt the disk before you can upgrade / migrate to Windows 10.

In answer to your questions:

• Business grade notebooks are provided with fingerprint sensors for the same reason that consumer grade models offer the feature -- biometrics are a very popular method to log into your computer without having to type in a password.

SimplePass software runs on consumer grade notebooks.

• Client Security software runs on business grade notebooks.

Both programs provide some of the same functions.

Options

Install and run Client Security

OR

If you are running Windows 10

and

If you only want / need to log into the computer with your fingerprint

then

you can set up a PIN number and then enable fingerprint logon security that comes with the Windows 10 Operating System 

Start / Windows key > Settings > Accounts > Sign-In Options > PIN number

Help:

Add or Remove Fingerprint logon - Windows 10

OR

If you do not wish to install / use the Client Security software on your computer

and

you do wish to be able to log into (most) websites without having to type in a password,

then

you can purchase a password manager program

If you wish, you can combine Security Software and password manager into one service.
