Kensington VeriMark™ Gen2 USB-A Fingerprint Key Reader - Windows Hello & Windows Hello for Business, Tap and Go, Anti-Spoofing (K64704WW)

Do Not Use This With NordPass!!! They require a network connection for Windows Hello to work with this. Meaning if your network goes down for any reason, this device becomes useless. It does work with Roboform without a network, so that was my solution. It has since worked great on Windows 10 22H2. Commenting on another review that mentions this sticks out and isn't flush, that is because the devices has a light to indicate its waiting for a finger print scan. It doesn't always do this, but they gotta flash that logo for marketing swag. While not ideal for Laptops, since it could easily get bumped and damage the USB port, I use this on my desktop and have no worries.

dont use this, seriously. it worked great, i reinstalled windows, now windows hello breaks cause the verimark stores fingerprints, even customer service (which BARELY replies) doesnt have a fix. the drivers on their site dont even have the proper software in it. its so botched.

I had the older, all-black version of this same product, and it stopped working for Windows Hello when the Windows 11 24H2 update came out earlier this year. I spoke to support, and they didn't have a driver fix, and no ETA on a fix. I was shocked to plug this newer silver one in and discover that IT WORKS! So if you're looking for a fingerprint reader that works after Win 11 24H2 update broke compat with a ton of fingerprint readers (for security reasons), get this one. Works great.

Win 11 - immediate success, no driver drama. Hello Windows just works, no drama. Replaced a previous cheaper unit that was a total drama master. Training fingerprints? Less than 1 minute for two fingers Touch reliability: Outstanding to Excellent This is worth the money. If you value your time and sanity, just get it now. I know I'm glad I did.

This is super easy to set up and has worked every time. Great quality item and small size of it makes it even better.

The reader was not recognized by LG gram laptop (Windows 11). The PDF Instructions for manual driver installation did not match up w/ associated driver download. Instructions showed a setup file in the driver zip file, which did not exist. Not worth my time to troubleshoot it. It should just work when you plug it in. Returned.

First, I'm sure this is a fine product, it just doesn't work for my use cases. I'm going to keep it around for further experimentation. When I plugged it into my Linux system, I saw the USB initialization messages from the kernel, but none of the software I have (Xubuntu 18.04), such as fprint_demo, will work with it. I was hoping to see it work with Chrome, the FIDO2 part, but no such luck; it's not recognized. If I knew what to try to get it to work, I would try lots of things...but Google results are sparse with how-to for this product. Granted, the Windows 10 laptop I tried this with 1.) doesn't belong to me, it belongs to my workplace (so may have some administrative issues there, GPOs and all), and 2.) already has an integrated fingerprint reader, so YMMV. It's a Lenovo T540p for anyone who's interested. I plugged it in, went through the procedure as documented on their site, the white LED lit up, Windows seemed to accept the fingerprint. "Moment of truth," I locked, then put my finger on the sensor, and Windows told me that I must enter my PIN. So it looked like I was recognized, maybe, but the Windows security subsystem still wasn't quite sure. Then on this laptop, I tried to use the Windows version of Chrome. Same sort of thing as on Linux, Google asks you to make sure your key is not connected, click NEXT, then insert your key. It doesn't seem to be recognized at that time either. Not sure what's up, the LED did not even light. Pressed the enrolled finger against the reader, still nothing, although since the LED was not on, that was not so surprising. So, this may work OK on YOUR Windows 10, but no such luck for me. Caveat emptor.

I thought it would sit inside the USB port, it does not which is a shame as I wanted it to be low profile. Either way it is a huge game changer being able to use your fingerprint for managing account passwords on not only device sign-in but online accounts. Very secure design. Picture this: you sit down at your desk, the PC has already waken up from sleep because your phone is nearby, photos and other docs synced, everything is secure as you've setup Bitlocker and a few other countermeasures, and all you need to do is reach out and touch the bottom of your monitor where the scanner is currently plugged in, and like the press of a power button the whole PC come to life in under 3 seconds you are logged into your desktop, applications auto-booting and bringing up webpages.
