How can I activate SimplePass now that Google has blocked the Chrome Extensions

Recently, Chrome has been updated to block all the extensions that are not bought from their online store. My PC (a Pavilion dv6) came with HP SimplePass installed. I use it for all my online password management, but now it is blocked by the Chrome (my preferred browser).

There are, apparently, a SimplePass extension available on the site of the shop online chrome, but he says that it will work only with SimplePass version 8. I have version6. The current owner of the SimplePass - Softexinc.com - indicates anything about getting the software updates.

The combination of player SimplePass/ingerprint was part of the reason why I bought this particular PC in the first place. I'll be very disappointed if I never use it again. Please help me to re - activate this feature.

Edited to add:

OK, it's even worse. I found a download for SimplePass version 8. But there is no upgrade path. Features of import/export of the two versions are incompatible, there is no way to migrate all data from my login/password from the old to the new version. Please, HP, address any of these problems:

-create a SimplePass upgrade to convert data from old formats

-develop a Chrome extension that works with SimplePass v6 AND meets the requirements of Google to allow it to run

-improve SimplePass 8 to be compatible with the (older) versions of SimplePass

Hi all

Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

I'll address the Chrome and extension of fingerprint reading question. I've solved the exact problem for a single user by following the steps in this thread: Chrome - policy disabled Simplepass extension

Other suggestions include the use of SimplePass on Internet Explorer and FireFox. Although, if you want to try to get Chrome working again, you can try the steps that I have proposed.

Here are the steps from the thread:

1. uninstall your current version of HP SimplePass and install it (even if it is the same): HP SimplePass Identity Protection Software Version 6.0.100.276

2. If it does not help: (it is more of a workaround than anything)

(a) go to settings in Chrome. Search for the "Extensions" menu and click on "get more extensions".

(b) in the Chrome Web Store, search for "SimplePass" and it should appear under the Extensions. Click on '+ free' to install it, then try to use it.

3. you can try to reset the Chrome to default settings: reset the browser settings

4 system restore, just because the time travel can be useful: System Restore

5. try the steps in an Incognito window (Yes, I just suggested that). Incognito mode disables all extensions by default (at least it's supposed to). You can re-enable any extensions, including ones site connection.

6. download and install an older version of Chrome, then try to get SimplePass and connection extensions Web site works: Old Version of Google Chrome

If none of this helps, then I'll propose some complex measures. This requires working in Developer Mode.

1 switch in Developer Mode via the Extensions menu.

2. Note the ID of the extension (for example, jilhkcaiaaepfiajaebpkmhonmfgabhf)

3. go in C: / / Users / / AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User/Data/Default/Extensions- name of the user account -/- extension ID -1.8 (or another number, you have a different number)

4 copy the path of the file.

5. go back to the Menu Extension of Chrome and click «Load extension unpacked...» ». Paste or search the above path and press ENTER.

6. the extension should now be re-created and active (or activate). You may have to restart the computer.

These measures should be sufficient to solve the problem, according to what experimentation I've done. For reasons of this problem, let me know what happens after trying each step.

I will continue to follow this thread, while playing with Chrome and SimplePass eventually discover more solutions. Please let me know your results. Thank you!

  • How can I replace iDVD now that it is gone. I would like to transfer my old iDVD project for everything that is out there, it's a mac friendly t app.

    looking for a way to replace iDVD on my new iMac and an old project of transfer.

    You can try to copy the necessary files to iDVD from your old Mac to your new iMac.  Those who would be:

    1 - the iDVD application that goes into the Applications folder.

    2 - the iDVD folder that is located in the folder/Users/Home/Library/Application Support .  Copy it into the same folder on the new iMac.

    Note: If the folder iDVD is not, in this folder, look in the folder HD/Library/Application Support .  It is one of the two locations, in what it might be.

    3. once the application and iDVD folder was copied to their respective locations launch iDVD and raise its preferences.  In the Advanced preferences window, click on the button '+', navigate to the location of the folder on the iMac iDVD and select it.

    This should link the iDVD themes to the application and allow you to select the themes in the media pane of the iDVD window.

    Be aware that some of the new animated themes, V7, in particular, are not fully compatible with El Capitan.  The oldest and simplest themes work fine.
