HP Envy 15t: fingerprint login no longer works
I upgraded my laptop HP Envy-15 t to 10 Windows recently and the functionality of fingerprint login worked fine for more than 3 months.
Today, I tried to add an another fingerprint for my spouse, using the login under account settings options. The fingerprint option did not work for her. Then I tried to remove all traces of fingers and set up my fingerprint again.
Now, the imprint does not at all. It comes up with the message "failure of authentication - please try again." I really liked the option of fingerprints to connect and restore this feature at the back. Help, please
Hi @Raj_N,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It's a great place to find answers and advice!
You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the HP Forums.
How can I find my model number or product number?
I understand that you upgraded your system to Windows 10 and the fingerprint login feature worked great for more than 3 months. When you tried to add your imprint of spouses for the sign in options, it has not worked. You then removed all traces of fingers and tried setting up again but it has no authentication and no longer works.
Here is a link to HP Notebook PC - a (Windows 8) fingerprint reader troubleshooting that should help you.
(This document is also valid for Windows 10).
Please let me know if you have managed to overcome this difficulty.

Fingerprint reader no longer works
I'm a dv7-7250us, which is less than 1 year old. It came with Win8. I installed Win 8.1 beta and everything worked well. When I installed the 8.1 final, I had to reinstall a bunch of my apps. Once the dust settled, I found that my fingerprint reader no longer works. No light show. I reinstalled the driver but no joy there. I have searched the SimplePass software but can't find it on my computer. BIOS is F.28. Prod # is C2H71UA #ABA. Appreciate any assistance.

Fingerprint reader no longer work after suspend P70 - W10
I have a P70 with Windows 10. After I suspend, when I wake up my system, fingerprint reader has stoped working.
Hi Paubach,
Try the latest driver touch fingerprint. The version of the driver ID is "5.01.307.26(driver jour 10/05/2016)". " It already exists in the Windows Update server.
You can get it by the following steps: open Device Manager > biometric devices > Synaptics WBDI (its PID is 0090) > right click, and select "update driver software...". ' > choose 'automatically search for... ". ", then Windows installs the driver 5.01.307.26 for you.

HP Envy 100: Scan function no longer works on my printer
Recently moved locations and had to re set my PC. Since then the scan function no longer works. I get the error message 'Scanner reported an error', 'Impossible to log on to the device. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers from HP, I checked the internet connections and all work. Actually had a lot of problems earlier with the printer and the scanner re wireless connections but hoped to have finally overcome these.
Is not part of the problem, but a real complaint about what is the purpose of wireless devices when they never work as well as the peripheral ethernet connected, someone really need to get it sorted
. Can someone help me please to get my back operational system. I surgent now as it is on paternity leave and need to get some issues administrative doen at home in the next few days.
Thank you very much
Hello HevnLgh.
The problem is now fixed and the printer and the scanner work. Don't know exactly what corretced it if it took time for the steps previously mentioned to kick but I also tried to use the wi - fi protected installation set-up that exists on the printer and somewhere between all these steps, the connection between the pC and the printer has been restored.
My very kind thank you for your efforts. I click the congratulations and accept it as a solution.

Windows 8 fingerprint reader no longer works (need to Flash the BIOS to fix)
I have a DV6-7014nr bought around September of 2012. I have upgraded to WIndows 8 when it first came out. I had no problem with the reader of fingerprints on Windows 7, but do not use for a long time.
As the subject says. I can run it for a few weeks (on Windows 8), and the fingerprint reader stops working. None of the biometric devices are listed in the Device Manager. If I try to load the driver, it does nothing, as if the player is simply not there the responsibility of the driver closes just (with no message).
Peripheral Biometirc in the Panel control says there is no biometric device found and simplepass opens without the fingerprint reader recognized.
The only thing that solves this is my BIOS which comes Insyde to re-flashing. It is noted in the setup of the BIOS relating to biometric devices. I have just discovred that BIOS update solves a problem because there was an update that I applied. Have to reapply the update of the BIOS to fix this seems excessive to us.
Added March 29, 2013:
I just re-applied the BIOS two days ago and already the figerprint teader plug working again. I tried a hard reset (because I saw that as a solution previously, and it is easier and faster to re-flashing the BIOS). Who has shut down, remove the battery, now the power for 30 seconds button, boot the system without the battery. He has not fixed the problem and I can't even understand why the fingerprint reader keeps disabling. A re-BIOS flash solves the problem, it seems that the problem must be with the BIOS software. Oh I also had turned off the "Allow windows to turn off the device to save power" for the biometric device before he went kaput. It doesn't stop of is suckier.
There must be a better way.
Thank you
Hello cjwh888,
Try to restore your BIOS then use Recovery Manager to restore your software and drivers.
Please let me know if it helps.
Good luck!

Portege Z30: Fingerprint software no longer work after Win 7 32-bit downgrade
Hi, I need a little more help with my Z30.
Have just downgraded to Win 7 Pro 64 Bit to Win Pro 32 Bit.
Everything seems to work except for the utility of fingerprinting.
My laptop has biometric device of validity and it shows up as working in the Device Manager.
I have install then it appropriate Toshiba Fingerprint Software listed as fp - sw - 20140811102806.zip.
The installation seems to go smoothly.However, if I run the software I get an icon on the taskbar, but nothing else. By clicking on this icon (or going back to the program via the start menu) and no registration window opens. Basically, nothing happens.
If I try and close the window in the bar of tasks, nothing happens. I have to use ctrl-alt-delete to close the icon and stop the running program.
I ve started to change the settings and made sure that the biometric device is enabled and checked the box to allow users to log on to Windows using their fingerprints.
I ve uninstalled Validity Sensor and allowed to reinstall.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Toshiba Fingerprint Software. No luck.
I think that I m doing something pretty obvious, but need some help on this.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Fingerprint reader no longer works on dv7 - 7373ca Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
Hello
I'm a dv7 - 7373ca and I installed 64-bit Windows from 8.1 to this topic. I can't seem to be able to operate the fingerprint reader. Before I formatted the computer, he had Windows 8 64 bit on it and the fingerprint reader worked perfectly.
I installed the driver fingerprint sensor fingerprint validity provided here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-109892-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en... (i.e. sp58900)
It doesn't seem to be a HP SimplePass software available for download in the on the support section of this model for Windows 8.1. So I have downlaoded the more recent for the same model but for Windows 8. (i.e. sp63224)
Even if HP SimplePass software opens and, in my view, there is a problem with the drivers because the light next to the fingerprint reader does not illuminate and HP SimplePass says he has encountered a problem.
Could you please help me solve my problem?
Thank you very much
Alex
Well, I'm done. I installed all the other drivers, Windows Update and installed my programs. Everything works perfectly. I don't know what the problem was after my first installation of Windows 8.1. The only thing I did different in the second installation was the order in which I installed everything. Install the fingerprint sensor driver validity above all the rest, it seems to have solved the problem. That's what I would do if someone has the same problem. Install the drivers before the Windows Update.
Thank you for your time and help,
Alex

Fingerprint Software does not work with Firefox after an update
Hello
the first thread that I started this topic is closed, so I have to make a new...
As mentioned here
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=25776&TSTART=15
Fingerprint Software no longer works with Firefox after updating the browser. Only by making the circumvention of the above thread it can be fixed. After the next update should be that any new... uninstall, reinstall... means a lot of time.
Are there no real solution for this? For Firefox users, the fingerprint software is useless unless they all do the- and relocation on each update.
There is no solution as the update of the utility of fingerprints or something like that!
The solution is to remove and to reinstall Firefox to get it working with the utility of fingerprints!The update of Firefox damages registration of fingerprints in FF and therefore the new resettlement is necessary!
If you want to know how this will be corrected in the FireFox browser, please contact support to Mozilla or the developer! -

Touch is no longer works after upgrade to 9.2 this morning. I reset all the settings and can not get readmitted prints. Ideas? THX
Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.
- Press and hold the sleep/wake button
- Press and hold the Home button
- Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.
Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings
If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.
Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.
As a final step, try recovery mode. Turn off your unit, then plug it to your computer with the hold home button. Hold down Home button until you see the logo of iTunes on the screen of your device. After that on your computer, you should see the iTunes window saying that your device needs to be restored to factory settings. Click Restore.

If these steps do not work, contact Apple and ask for help.
