Hello, i am trying to get my Biometric Validity Sensor to work, but i can’t find drivers/software anywhere for my device/windows version.

Is there any way how you can help me?

In device manager the Sensor driver is the default one by Validity, dated 9/12/2013.
General tab, «This device is working properly»
Details tab, » Validity Sensor (VFS471)
Events tab, «Device USB\VID_138A&PID_003C\00b0b6f80589 requires further installation.»

For some reason the validity fingerprint sensor drivers are gone from every 6x60b, and 8x60p/w support page.

I was able to find a driver online that should work for you.

Please see this discussion for the solution.

You can’t use the ProtectTools software on W10.

Uninstall it, restart the PC and use the HP Client Security Manager software for W10, which superceded the HP ProtectTools security software.

HP Client Security Manager provides enhanced Windows login and website single-sign-on capabilities. Security Manager is also the host for HP Client Security plugins, and therefore should be installed before other Client Security modules. This package is provided for supported models running a supported operating system.

I am running Windows 10 64-bit on the HP ProBook 6460b. I followed instructions to install a different driver for the VFS471 fingerprint scanner. As soon as I did, windows hello immediately started working. Note, I did not have to uninstall the old driver or remove the device from Device Manager. Simply performed «update new driver» and directed Windows to the «wbf_vfs_003c.inf» file. Worked like a charm.

See the last post on the link below:

Today I had the exact same experience on Windows 8.1 64-bit with an HP EliteBook 8460p (VFS471 sensor, VID_138A&PID_003C&REV_0086). After that I tried it with v.4.4.232.0 and this version seems to work OOTB. It’s no more necessary to uncheck «allow the computer to turn off this device to save power». I hope the following solution also works with Windows 10.

You can use the Valdity Sensor for your system that is rated for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

You cannot use the old AuthenTec Series 6 (any version 6.x) of the HP SimplePass program with Windows 10.

If you want to continue to use HP SimplePass, you must switch to the Softex HP SimplePass program.

At writing, the latest (new) version is:

• Series 8 (any version 8.x) of HP SimplePass is NOT an update to Series 6 HP SimplePass
• The programs are not compatible and cannot be on the computer at the same time
• There is no conversion program for the Export .tsd file to the Vault .opi (website / passwords backup)

Remember that Windows 10 fingerprint logon requires a PIN number.

Windows 10 > Settings > Account > Sign-in Options > PIN number >> PIN assignment is mandatory

• Windows Hello and the Windows fingerprint logon

Thank you Navneet Anand! Although all of what you have suggested was tried by me earlier. Everything like deleting, reinstalling, picking up driver, compatibility and rest but it didn’t work. Just want to clarify, initially I upgraded windows 7 professional to windows 10 pro after that I did refresh this PC. Still Microsoft or HP driver was not working. Few days back I had to do clean install of Windows 10 from USB (sorry for mistake in question) and after installing all necessary windows updates along with fingerprint driver provided by Microsoft, it is working like a charm! I could use Windows Hello feature now.

Although I am not sure why it didn’t work earlier? Is it because windows 10 still does not handle driver installations properly, I am not sure. Anyway thanks for looking into this.

Ryuzai_L, when you say you did a clean install, do you mean to a fully formatted drive starting from the ground up? I had the same problem and also rolled back to Windows 7 in order to get my fingerprint reader to work.

CyclingSmiths , let me elaborate what I did-

1. I have two partitions on hard drive, one is system drive C, another is for all other stuff.
2. I upgraded to win 10.
3. As having traces of windows 7 in windows 10 after upgrade, it made my system slow and buggy, I am not sure why.
4. tried all the options to install and make fingerprint reader work with windows hello but nothing worked. Believe me, I am very much into computers and could not make it work.
5. So I used—> settings—> update and security —> Recovery —> Reset this PC
6. Again I tried making fingerprint work but failed.
7. Finally made a bootable USB and formatted and installed Windows 10 pro again on my system drive C. I did not format whole hard drive just system drive.

And after necessary windows updates fingerprint reader started working the way it should! I have not tried installing any HP driver for fingerprint reader afterwards. I do not want to take any chances, you see! One thing peculiar I noticed about windows 10 is your hardware works fine if you install it clean not just upgrade and let Microsoft decide drivers through windows update. Just to make sure, I observed same thing worked on DV6-3043TX!

Hope this helps!

Validity Sensor (WBF) (PID=0050) not recognizable by Windows 10 (Without HP Software)

Hi, I have an almost new ENVY 17-j150la Leap Motion SE laptop, which was running Windows 8.1 64-bit without a problem. Few days ago I updated it to Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and everything is working fine except for the biometric Validity Sensor (WBF) (PID=0050), which is only recognizable by the HP SimplePass software, but not by Windows natively.

I want to use the native Windows Hello option, to sign in to my account, but Windows cannot read the fingerprint. When you put your finger over the sensor nothing happens (and it is connected and working, because you can see its light turned on), but when you open SimplePass software the sensor magically start reading the fingerprint (only this software, not Windows by itself).

I tried to reinstall the drivers or find a solution on the web, but found nothing, reinstalling the drivers didn’t solve the problem. Tried uninstalling SimplePass too, but it neither works.

I want to know if there’s a way or an option to make the sensor recognizable by Windows 10 and not only by the HP software, or if there’s another driver we can use to make it work.
