Kensington VeriMark IT Fingerprint Key - FIDO2/WebAuth, Windows Hello & Windows Hello for Business (K64704WW)

Trustworthy brand, needs no introduction. Bought it for ₹3830, substantially more expensive than my previous USB fingerprint reader from Secureye (more than 2x), but it died recently after 3 years of usage, so had to buy this. Just in case you're wondering, it costs $19 on amazon.com (US), which is roughly about ₹1600. Since it gets imported here, it becomes so expensive. Works great on my Asus VivoBook 17 running Windows 11 Home, though after plugging it in for the first time, had to restart my computer so that Windows recognizes it properly. Proper Plug and Play experience. Much better compared to the previous one, as in that case I had to go to company's website, download the drivers, install them and what not. Build quality seems pretty good. Hope it lasts much longer than the one I had before. Works well with U2F on websites. I've used it with Google. Prompt comes automatically through Windows Hello when signing in. It's Made in Taiwan. If you can, wait for some kind of sale, it can go below ₹3K.

Absolutely seamless sign in. No need to find drivers manually. Works so well that you won't even notice that it's there. More than security, i find the convenience of passwordless entry, more appealing. Doesn't work that well with slighltly damp fingers. Also, a Type C connector would have been more appropriate. The price keeps fluactuating. As of March 2025, the price has increased Rs.1000.

Good for laptops and desktops which doesn't have fingerprint scanner. It is expensive but worth it for the convenience.

This works like a charm on Windows 11, even with extension dongles. I have this thing hooked to an extension because I didn't want to sacrifice one USB port for this, always works like a charm and unlocks the PC in milliseconds.

Fails to work at least 50% of the time. Tried all possible fixes including driver reinstall and fingerprint reset. Works well occasionally, but not dependable. Not worth it if you need consistency.

Very nice product, finger print scanner has quick response

Works seamlessly with Windows Hello on Windows 11 without the need of any additional drivers. Just Plug and Play. Super Fast and works like a charm. Can also be used and works fine with Facebook and many other websites Detalied Configutation documentation also availabe on Kensington website

Everything just works, no driver issues. Have to check on linux though. Feels worth the price.

Nothing has ever been so painless, this is truly plug-and-play: you plug it in a USB-A port and Windows instantly takes care of everything. 10 seconds later it's ready to work. At this point you'll just have to go to Windows Hello in your settings to register up to 10 fingers. In my experience, this sensor is about as fast and as reliable as the second Touch ID sensor from Apple (which is considered as a leading standard in fingerprint authentication). I haven't yet fully tested U2F. Look for it in a subsequent edit. EDIT >> I have now had the time to test U2F and there are a couple of things to know: * This doesn't work like a Yubikey for example. U2F in this, the same as for Windows Hello, is directly tied to the computer where the fingerprints and the 2-factor auth had been set up (in fact, as far as I understand this, it's Windows Hello itself that manages the U2F bit in conjunction with the reader). It is therefore not portable, no data whatsoever is stored on the actual sensor. You can't just take this dongle and plug it in an another computer to authenticate; it won't work. You can however set this up with multiple computers you own. For each one of these, you must run through the entire set up process and register a "new key" with your websites. If you were hoping to trike two birds with one stone using this (fingerprint scanning and portable U2F), you are out of luck. This severely cuts the usefulness of U2F support as, generally, your own computers will be considered trusted devices for 2FA and will never be asked to use codes or keys. * U2F support just came to Edge in the 1809 Windows 10 update and it's still flaky. It's outright unsupported on Firefox (unless if you dig in the config page and manually enable it, and even then it's not reliable). If you use Chrome, you're good to go. END OF EDIT <<

Bottom line: Sturdy, easy to set up, and does its job well. Just be gentle with the touch.

El dispositivo biométrico funciona perfectamente una vez que es configurado. En mi caso tengo Windows 10 y no funciono el plug an play. Sin embargo descargue el driver de la página y lo instale. Seguí las instrucciones de la página del producto y pude establecer las huellas como contraseñas fácil, y rápidamente, sin ningún problema. Y al bloquear el equipo el dispositivo lo desbloquea inmediatamente. Es pequeño y discreto muy útil para los que buscamos más seguridad en nuestros equipos.

Works nicely for windows logon, if only it can be used with other password managers for websites
