How to disable password manager

[nomissa]

Is there any way to disable the password manger besides completely uninstalling it? I can right click the system tray icon and exit, but it just starts up again when the computer restarts. I can't find anywhere in preferences where I can disable it.

Also, what features, if any, would I be losing besides being able to log into websites using the fingerprint scanner? Any help would be much appreciated.

You could remove it from autostart, there is a nice tool from Sysinternals which could help:

Found it ...

If anyone else wants to disable the password manager, try going to C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution and double clicking css_pwmgr_toggle.exe.

Edit: Or just click on Client Security Solution in your ThinkVantage folder.

Um, I can't find either of those. Where else could I check?

Try clicking Start -> All Programs -> ThinkVantage -> Client Security Solution. In there, you should see an option to disable the password manager.
