Why would I not want to use Windows Single Signon for PGP?

0

In most cases, synchronizing the boot pass phrase and the Windows password is a good thing. The only times that this may not be desired are: • When the boot pass phrase should not automatically log the user in to Windows and for system support staff boot pass phrases (since, in this case, the pass phrase is likely to be used very infrequently so it may not stay in sync with the Windows password). • When using a biometric reader like a thumbprint scanner. Often these devices do not work with PGP’s boot level security. Users should not use single sign on with these devices, instead use the PGP Passphrase and then the biometric device can control the Windows login process as expected.
