Here is a List of Apps that will only work with HP Authentication Manager

* HP printer must be HP Workpath capable and enabled – Your HP representative / Reseller will be able to provide you with a list of all devices that meets the HP Workpath and Firmware requirements and guide you accordingly. Many HP Devices are capable of running HP WorkPath Based applications but may need an Extra DIMM Memory Module to be purchased, and your HP Representative is fully responsible for deploying the Apps onto your Fleet via HP Command Centre Web Portal.

**HP Printer must not have any other 3rd Party Login and Authentication application installed. – Your HP representative / Reseller will be able to guide you, basically if you are using any of the HP Authentication applications and or 3^rd Party applications to sign-in to your Printers (e.g. Everyone Print, HP Secure Access, HPID etc.) then you will not be able to use our New HP Authentication Manager application unless you uninstall the current sign-in application, this is particularly important if you are currently using NFC/BLE to Tap On and Sign-in via those alternate Sign-in Console apps.

**Additionally - HP Authentication Suite can be used as the authenticator to enable MFA within both HP Advance and LRS VPSX Print Release. If you need to integrate with either of these solutions, please remove the HP Advance / LRS VPSX Print Release authentication module and reach out to your HP representative for the integration requirements.

Additional Information

NFC nor BLE Readers are required for our solution, however if you currently use NFC/BLE Readers then we have limited support for both the Readers and especially the Card Types / Protocols. Please check with your HP Representative if your current Readers and Card types are supported, else our solution will support a Reader-less flow by using our HP Secure Authentication Mobile app QRCode Option.

The HP Authentication Office 365 Suite includes Universal Print which requires the user to have a Microsoft Azure Universal Print License, See Microsoft Licensing for further information if your current Azure / Office Licenses qualifies, else you will need to purchase a Microsoft Universal Print License
