Kensington VeriMark Desktop USB Fingerprint Key Reader - Windows Hello, FIDO U2F, FIDO2 (K62330WW)

Product is absolutely perfect

Now that I've had time to use it and write a truthful review, I'll say it works great and I'm very happy with it. Before I was able to have it recognized, I did have to find a place in "Setting" to enable it. I use Edge. Seems like it would have been nice if that was mentioned in the instructions, but AI got me going. If it fails to register my fingerprint once in a while, it's just because of the sloppy way I put my finger on the pad. I would sure buy this reader again.

Better than other fingerprint sensors that do averaging to reduce false positives and false negatives, which are better than the ones that do not do averaging at all. This sensor has also encryption to prevent hackers from copying your fingerprint data and use it to steal sign in while you are away, but apparently it is limited in reducing the probability of hacking maybe because it has limited number of encryption keys. One more limitation of this sensor is that it is not spatially shift-invariant to fingerprint direction of sensing, you need to store more fingerprints in different directions to reduce false negative rate. I hope a better version can improve it to make it shift-invarient to direction the fingerprint is placed. I tried to store different versions of the same finger in different directions and using the tip, the right side, the left side, the upper, the lower portion of the same finger, and also different directions in order to reduce the false negatives I face with it since it is not shift invarient, and also, the sensor matrix they used maybe of low resolution that cannot get good details of the finger.

Muito bom

Surprised how heavy & solid this little thing is for its small size. The weight makes it sit flat on the surface rather than float about on its cable & it also has an anti slip pad on its undersurface. Like: Went to "setup fingerprint recognition" (for Windows Hello) in Windows 11, & the device was there waiting for selection. Recognition is very fast, faster than any I have experienced on previous laptops or an older USB device. Also using it with Bitwarden & KeepassXC for quick unlock via Win Hello. Microsoft account recognized it for signing in to MS-365 Heavy & small enough to stay put on the desk a LED turns on when it is expecting a print input, flashes red if it doesn't recognise. Don't like: Not much so far Expensive I'm not sure how to take advantage of U2F/FIDO2 for other apps or in browsers. Regrets? Not buying it earlier. Update 2024-04-29: 1: Since the wider re-learning as item 1 below, performance has been rock solid. Fantastic. 2: Item 2 problem below RESOLVED. Uncheck: "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" found in Windows Device Manager>Biometric Devices>VeriMark DT Fingerprint Key>Properties>Power Management. Update 2023-09-16: 1 I found I was inconsistent in positioning my finger for reading, so I re-learnt my print, using an especially broad finger print area with the learning process. That really helped with improved reliability of recognition. 2 For some reason the driver or something occasionally goes to sleep & it gets unresponsive. I had this problem with a windows hello camera in the past so I assume it is somewhere in windows. Sometimes unplugging, pausing, & plugging back in restores life.

Funkar med Windows11 och Windows Hello. behöver försöka med fingret 2-3 gånger för att det ska funka ibland.
