HP SimplePass can be disabled in the Biometric Settings menu in Windows 8. SimplePass is a proprietary biometric software application specific to HP computers that enables a user to log in to Windows, Facebook, email accounts and Web applications by swiping his finger over a fingerprint reader installed on the computer.
