5.0 out of 5 stars Makes signing into Windows a snap
My ASUS laptop came with a built-in fingerprint reader in the upper corner of the touchpad. I grew to really like using that feature. In one of the updates for drivers a while back, the driver for the fingerprint reader on the ASUS failed to work and I could not recover the old driver. Why, who knows? Anyway, since I really wanted my fingerprint reader back, I bought an outboard reader to use for logins. It worked great. Recently I upgraded from the ASUS laptop being my main PC to an actual PC (albeit a mini-PC but it was faster and had more features/ports than the laptop) so I migrated the outboard fingerprint reader to the new PC which left the old ASUS back to being without a fingerprint reader. So, I went looking for a small unobtrusive USB reader and found this device. I figured I would try it and if it didn't work out, I'd return it and try something else. Let me tell you I was really surprised. Once I set it up (simply to do through Windows settings at SETTINGS > ACCOUNTS > SIGN-IN), this little reader is very fast and always gets the fingerprint on the first read. Best of all, it fits right into a USB 2.0 port on the left side of the laptop and all I have to do is simply move my left hand to the side of the keyboard and touch the reader opening with my left index finger (one of the fingers I set up to use - hint: always setup more than one finger so if you do something to the main finger and can't use it (bandaged, etc.), an alternate finger is already setup and you won't have to do it on the fly). Reader reads the fingerprint and Windows opens almost instantaneous. Life is good once again!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Best that I have owned
Straight forward set up. Works very well and better than others I have owned.
4.0 out of 5 stars It works BUT...
... if you have Win10 make sure you are up-to-date. Get the newest Win10 as the home and pre-installed version may not recognize an external fingerprint reader.
5.0 out of 5 stars You will need to download a driver for this to work with Windows Hello
This works fine. My new laptop does not come with a fingerprint reader and my old HP has one built in so I am very used to using it and understand the convenience and security this provides. The FR on the HP is super fast and always sees my fingerprint the first time. This dongle isn't quite as quick to recognize my fingerprint but it works.Thinking about those who are not technically inclined, installing this is not "plug n play" as Windows 11 will not see it as a "Windows Hello" device until you download a driver and install it. Then it works great. Carefully follow the included instructions and it will work out fine.
1.0 out of 5 stars Used to...work consistently
I was wrong about this device. Purchased in Sep '23, they have stopped working. As stated below, I use two of these units, one of which is on a 4-port KVM switch, the other straight to a PC. Both units stopped working the same day. I have looked into fingerprint issues on the transducer screen (just take a look at your cell phone screen). I cleaned gently with lint-free cloth, etc., etc. A product lifetime of six months it not acceptable. On the KVM, all 4-PC's stopped responding, so it is not Windows Hello, or Windows at all. Re-programming the finger does not improve anything at all. C3 (Cheap C-h-i-n-a Crud).Previously:Installation was simple: plug into a USB port, wait a moment, restart the (Windows) PC. Device Manager shows (Biometric devices): FocalTech Fingerprint reader (at least for my two units). The device responds quickly. On occasion I don't touch it just right, but another quick touch gets me in. It's easier and much faster than typing a password. And the PW is safe from prying eyes. Those are the reasons I purchased this unit.I inserted one sensor into a 4-port IOGEAR KVM (DVI) switch. A single Fingerprint Sensor will unlock each of the 4-PC's as I switch between them.I learned that Windows Hello does not require a Microsoft account.After a couple of weeks of daily use, I can highly recommend this unit.
5.0 out of 5 stars Reads a fingerprint virtually instantaniously
This little fingerprint reader is just as the advertised photo shows. It requires very little pressure for it to read your fingerprint. It feels very solid in construction.I used this item with my Windows 11 Pro home computer to sign in. Sure I could just enter the PIN but that isn't fun. I'm hoping to eventually utilize this to encrypt/decrypt data.I don't know if the finger print reader actually stores a fingerprint internally or if the fingerprint is stored on the computer. I think it's on the computer but I don't know for sure.If you want or need a fingerprint reader, this is well worth the money, and compact.The only concern I would have has nothing to do with the product itself but rather the force a person may exert on a USB port which could damage it. So don't use a heavy finger.
5.0 out of 5 stars It works well for the price.
I have a much more expensive reader for my work laptop, but got this one for my home computer and have no complaints.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very sensitive.
So far so good. Completely plug and play. Super fast an very sensitive. Windows Hello likes it. So we'll see.
Funciona correctamente
Sirve para el propósito que fue adquirido
Very easy way to help secure your computer
Set up was almost so easy I didn't realize I was done with it. Works very well so far and almost instantaneously. Recommend.
Fast secure logins for Windows PC
Pretty much plug and play. Windows 11 handled the driver installation.
Funciona perfecto
En el momento que lo recibí lo conecte a mi computadora y funciono casi inmediatamente, digo casi porque para aquellos no familiarizados con la tecnologia, solo fui al administrador de dispositivos, dispositivos biometricos, FocalTech Fingerprint reader, actualizar controlador, buscar automaticamente, y buscar en windows update, de inmediato se instaló el driver y me dejo configurarlo, el lector es muy pequeño, rapido y preciso, lo recomiendo
It works well but...
Reading a fingerprint seems to be easy and accurate. It's taking time to be confident in software support for some needs.
