USB Fingerprint Reader for Windows 10/11, Windows Hello Fingerprint Scanner, Plug & Play with Automatic Driver Setup, 1.5m Cable

The instructions were so small I couldn't even read some bits with a magnifying glass. Luckily I didn't need them and setup was very easy.Initially I couldn't get it to recognise the fingers I had set up but I was doing a couple of things wrong. With this reader (others are different) you should not swipe the finger - just press lightly and do not move. Secondly it is important to ensure that you are actually placing the correct bit of your finger on the reading bit. That meant not going too far forward.Once I had sorted those things (perhaps they should be in the instructions!) it works fine.

Have just received this fingerprint reader. The instructions say to plug in and Windows will find the driver. It then goes on to say 'if it doesn't (?) then run windows update.' Neither of these work and the device manager shows no driver present and can't update driver; i.e there isn't one! HOWEVER I then went into Windows Hello/Sign in Options/fingerprint recognition and followed the setup instructions. Device manager still showing as 'no compatible drivers for this device' BUT all is working fine regarding using fingerprint to open Windows. I have also used the reader to sign in to Paypal. It remains to be seen if any glitches are yet to occur.Note; I am using Windows 11.ADDENDUM. Day 3; The glitches soon started. This is rarely recognised by windows. I am having to restart Windows to pick it up but even then it's only occasionally that it can be used. Have concluded that it's a wast of money and will be returning it.

The instructions say it is for Windows 10. I installed on a Windows 11 system without any problems.

Does not work with "Enhanced Windows Biometric Security". This feature is enabled by default in the BIOS of most modern laptops within the "visualization" settings. By disabling it, I've manage to get it working.

I followed the Windows Hello prompt that tells you to swipe your finger over the reader. Don't do that! In the past, I had a laptop reader that was designed to be swiped, but this one is not like that. I was initially getting very frustrated with this reader's unreliability and thinking of returning it, but then I noticed another review that says you should press your finger on the reader and not swipe it. That sorted it out. It works reliably for me now.

Nice and compact, easy to set up, and does the job its intended to do. Like most fingerprint electronics, even on phones, a light touch is needed,so don`t press down hard. pleased with my purchase.

Installs easily.Difficult to register fingerprint and almost never recognises that or any other installed print. Back to the PIN!I wish I had stuck with the one used for my laptop. Works every time.

I couldn't get this to work with windows 11. Windows drivers gave an error message saying it couldn't initialise. An on-line search did not reveal any drivers which would work. Tried with linux and after a lot of effort got it to recognize the reader but most times it failed to read the fingerprint. Avoid. Not fit for purpose and no support

Cumple perfectamente. Sencillo y adecudo.

Funktioniert fehlerfrei. Jedoch billigstes Plastik in der Verarbeitung. Bei den Preis hätte ich eine bessere, hochwertigere Qualität erwartet. Herstellungkosten unter 5,- würde ich mal schätzen.Aber was solls, wurde von Windows 11 sofort erkannt (ohne Treiberinstallation) und funktioniert einwandfrei.

It was a little fussy setting it up

Wanted to try out Windows Hello on my Windows 11 for Workstation and it was just to go into the computer configuration and choose the reader and get the driver. After that just follow the instruction for Windows Hello. Now I’m thinking of getting a Windows Hello camera since the one I got isn’t IR and that’s what Windows Hello wants. O boy, I wish I knew about this fingerprint reader when I had a 12 character password that I had to change every month… Everything is so much easier with “gadgets” that simplify the everyday usage. There are probably much better readers out there, but this one was enough for me.

Génial vraiment super facile à installer je n'ai rien eu à faire, reconnu très facilement sur W11 deux personnes configuré d'un seul coup bravo et merci Amazon.
