FYI, you can grab the latest drivers from their website, but they don't seem to work for me. I'm on Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview version 2004. **Q: Does it work with application logins?** A: It works with applications that have windows hello support. I use it to log in to Dashlane, a password manager. It may be possible to use it in other apps but I am not sure. **Q: I want to mount the reader on my desk not directly on my gaming pc. Can i use a usb extension cable?** A: Yes, any USB 2.0 or better cable should work. I use StarTech.com 5ft SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Extension Cable for Desktop - STP - USB-A Male to USB-A Female Cable for Computer - Black (USB3SEXT5DKB) **Q: How long does it take to unlock your computer?** A: If you touch it the same place on your finger that you set it up, it is a mere second to scan and windows will open right up for you. I love mine and was peeved that my sysadmin wouldn’t allow me to install it on my work desktop. Well worth it at home. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This excellent little device works perfectly with Windows 10 Pro version 2004... but not right away *by on Reviewed in the United States 30 December 2020* **** CHECK YOUR WINDOWS UPDATE SECTION FOR ADDITIONAL DRIVER UPDATES ****OK, so first thing's first... once it's working, this fingerprint reader works perfectly (in my quick testing). It's compact and it seems to accept my fingerprint pretty much immediately. I haven't tried any others, but I don't see how it could even be improved, so I would definitely recommend this one.I have Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview (Version 2004) and even though Windows said it was setting up the device when I plugged it in, it never really did. After looking at various reviews and Q&A here, it first looked like I was going to have to return this. I tried different USB ports and they all did the same thing. That wasn't completely unexpected, but I went to the Benss website for the drivers to install manually and the only driver package they have didn't seem to do anything other than change the listing in my Device Manager. Windows Hello said I didn't have a fingerprint reader and Device Manager said the device couldn't start, so the drivers wouldn't actually install. I restarted and tried again with all available ports, but was still stuck. I decided at that point I'd have to just return it thanks to the lack of driver support.Then I tried one more thing... I went into the Windows settings and in the updates section, I checked for additional updates (I remembered seeing extra driver downloads in there before). Lo and behold, there was one driver update for ELAN Finger Print - Biometric! 🥳 I took the update and since I still had the Device Manager open, I could see that it immediately fixed the issue and showed the fingerprint reader as available. Windows Hello agreed that it was ready and I was able to start adding my fingerprints. After setting it up, I tested it out and it seems to be working perfectly!I'm writing this review on the day I received it, so I can't speak to how it'll do in the long run, but it certainly seems perfect right now. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much easier, faster, and leaves me with options. *by on Reviewed in the United States 15 October 2021* Installation was easy. I did have to go to their website to get the drivers. I got Windows Hello setup and it's been working great since. Ever so often I have to bounce my finger around to get it to activate but that is few and far between and most often it activates so quickly (and I mean quick), I really don't care that it has a short misfire 1 out of 12 times.I like that I now have options with signing in to my computer and can use a password, pin, face ID, and fingerprint sensor. It works great. We'll done. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for convenience, not for real security *by on Reviewed in the United States 21 March 2020* There were some hiccups with setting up, which may or may not be because of the fingerprint reader itself. The reader is Hello compatible and does work with Windows 10 without additional drivers. However, when I first connected the fingerprint reader to my keyboard's USB port so that it would be conveniently available on the backside, Windows 10 refused to treat the reader as something that is compatible with Hello. Moving the reader to a USB hub gave the same results. Only when I first moved the reader to a port that is directly attached to the PC motherboard, Windows accepted it as a Hello compatible device. After the reader started working and completion of Hello setup, I was able to move the reader back to the keyboard and it works fine.The reading surface is rather a small rectangle, unlike the larger and more square surface my laptop's reader has. My understanding is that the device is just a reader (scanner), and does not store anything -- Windows determines whether the fingerprint matches or not. The small area or low resolution may contribute to the fact that I can sometimes unlock my PC when I'm not supposed, namely using a different finger than what I used to train Hello. Maybe 1/10 times I'm able to unlock my PC using a random different finger (e.g. left hand's middle finger) rather than the right hand index finger used to set things up. This leaves me to believe some random person could unlock my computer after trying long enough. Maybe Windows asking for the PIN after three bad attempts will prevent that, maybe not.However, within your home this fingerprint reader is awesome for convenience. It reads quickly and Hello doesn't seem to be particularly sensitive to orientation, so just a quick tap and you're good to go. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/307473703-usb-fingerprint-reader-benss-portable-security-key-biometric-fingerprint-scanner](https://www.desertcart.be/products/307473703-usb-fingerprint-reader-benss-portable-security-key-biometric-fingerprint-scanner) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
