TEC TE-FPA3 — Works with a cable. You won’t need to stand on your head to use it.
Excellent! Yes! Win 11. It installed very easily following Microsoft instructions. Note that this is model TE FPA3 which is a more recent design than TE FPA2 which is still available from the vendor.So, now I easily log in and unlock my password manager with it (after enabling that function in the password manager’s settings).But… what I want to say is this:With many computers it would be awkward to use the mini-reader unless you removed your fingers or thumbs to get one into proper position. Or perhaps you could do a headstand? Anyway that’s not necessary as it does not seem to be fussy about cabling.For setup, I plugged the reader directly into my win 11 computer and quite awkwardly set up 2 different thumbs (i.e. lefty and righty neither of which was very cooperative). It logged in perfectly. Then I shut down the computer, removed the reader and plugged it into the tail end of my spare parts jury rigged extension consisting of a 12” USB A male to USB C male (USB A end plugged into the computer), then came a USB C female to USB A male adapter, plugged into a 15 year old USB A female to female extender. Then came the reader. I was happy to see that the device still worked great. Then I set I up more fingers. Note that I didn’t get any of the USB Micro cabling stuff involved.

Works with Windows 11, works better with Windows 10
I bought two of these readers for my wife and myself. My PC runs Win11 Pro; hers is older, and runs Win10 Pro. Her installation went flawlessly, including the installation of the basic device and the fingerprint loading.My Windows 11 installation was ultimately successful, but had a couple of wrinkles: When I first plugged in the device, I got a dreaded 'yellow exclamation point' in Device Manager as an unknown device. I unplugged the reader and put it back into the same USB port; this time it was detected as a fingerprint reader, but still with the exclamation point. I went out to the Web to find some troubleshooting tips to try, and when I returned, the installation was complete and working -- even though I didn't do anything!On to the fingerprint programming: the first finger went smoothly, but I couldn't select another finger. I erased the first setting and started over. This time, everything went perfectly, and I now have five fingerprints stored. Again, no idea why the second attempt was better than the first.The reader works great with my password manager, and doesn't seem to mind a casual tap at a random angle. Overall I'm pleased, but the setup problems in Win11 keep me from giving the device 5 stars.

First try every time
Works great for logging into my laptop via "Windows Hello". It gets me in on the first try nearly every time. I haven't tried using it in other contexts.
