It can be done the other way around, however, some of the high-security features HP ProtectTools has will not work 100% from a Virtual Machine, such as Device Access Manager, Full Volume Encryption, and Preboot Authentication. Validity suggests that if you want both HP ProtectTools and LastPass, you must install the WBF drivers and FMA then install LastPass on a Virtual Machine.

If that happens, you will need to uninstall the WBF package, and then repair or uninstall and re-install the Validity native drivers called “Validity Fingerprint Sensor Drivers” in Programs and Features. If you install the WBF drivers, it will interfere with the operation of the fingerprint feature in HP ProtectTools. To keep HP ProtectTools and use the fingerprint features for Preboot Authentication, Full Volume Encryption, Windows logins and website logins, then they must use the native Validity drivers ONLY. This is by design, as the native drivers are secure drivers and “take ownership” of the sensor, meaning no other application can use it. Unfortunately, the driver used for HP ProtectTools can not be combined with the WBF driver for LastPass integration.
