Specifications Operating System: Windows 7, 8.1, 10 Web Authentication: Windows 10 Only USB Interface: USB 2.0/3.0 Type A Kensington Fingerprint Application Required (for Windows 7, 8.1) Software Required Fingerprint Match-In-Sensor: Synaptics FS7600 USB Data Encryption: AES-256/SHA-256, SSLv3 for secure sessions, TLS 1.2 secure communication Review: Plug and play desktop fingerprint login - This is absolutely excellent. I have it connected to my USB hub and when I switch laptops I can still login to anything with the same fingerprint reader, which I have in its ideal position on my desk. Plug and play, so no setup - Windows detected it immediately and I can use it for Windows Hello fingerprint login once registering my fingerprints on each laptop. The device itself seems high quality. It's very small in size but the fingerprint pad itself is relatively big, and it easily identifies my fingers. Very pleased with it. Review: The most reliable 3rd party fingerprint sensor I have found. - This sensor was significantly more expensive than others, but it is the most reliable I have used. My laptop has a built-in sensor which works well, but at home I use large external monitors, and keyboard, and my laptop remains closed - so I wanted a sensor that I could connect to a USB extension cable. I had a semi-generic Chinese make that worked well for a few years, but recently has been failing to recognise my fingerprint on around 50% of the attempts. I could not buy a direct replacement from desertcart, I tried a similar alternative, and it was worse. Finally I splashed out on this Kensington item. It works excellently, and even shows a small light when reading a fingerprint -red or white. ## Features - Match-in-Sensor Advanced Fingerprint Technology: Combines excellent biometric performance and 360° readability with anti-spoofing technology. Exceeds industry standards for false rejection rate (FRR 2%) and false acceptance rate (FAR 0.001%). Fingerprint data is isolated and secured in the sensor, so only an encrypted match is transferred. - Designed for Windows Hello and Windows Hello for Business (Windows 10 and Windows 11): Login on your Windows using Microsoft's built-in login feature with just your fingerprint, no need to remember usernames and passwords; can be used with up to 10 different fingerprints. NOT compatible with MacOS and ChromeOS. - Designed to Support Passkey Access with Tap and Go CTAP2 protocol: Supports users and businesses in their journey to a passwordless experience. Passkeys are supported by >90% of devices, with a wide range supported across different operating systems and platforms. - Compatible with Popular Password Managers: Supports popular tools, like Dashlane, LastPass (Premium), Keeper (Premium) and Roboform, through Tap and Go CTAP2 protocol to authenticate and automatically fill in usernames and passwords for websites. - Great for Enterprise Deployments: Enables the latest web standards approved by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Authenticates without storing passwords on servers, and secures the fingerprint data it collects, allowing it to support a company’s cybersecurity measures consistent with (but not limited to) such privacy laws as GDPR, BIPA, and CCPA. - Windows ARM-based computers are currently not supported.

IE as long as your hub can read a USB stick it can read this. **Q: If it saves fingerprints locally, is it ok to unplug and plug it again? then, do i need to register my fingerprints again, or not?** A: for PCs, I believe it only stores some kind of a secure token via it's TPM hardware, this is all done via Windows Hello / Windows Hello for Business. It should continue to work once your fingerprint is saved, even if you unplug, and plug it back in. If you were to use it on a different computer, you would need to re-register your fingerprints. **Q: Why does this not work with macos if it's a standard on-device storage fido2 security key?** A: this one is compatible with Mac : VeriMark™ Guard USB-A Fingerprint Key ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plug and play desktop fingerprint login *by X***6 on 23 January 2026* This is absolutely excellent. I have it connected to my USB hub and when I switch laptops I can still login to anything with the same fingerprint reader, which I have in its ideal position on my desk. Plug and play, so no setup - Windows detected it immediately and I can use it for Windows Hello fingerprint login once registering my fingerprints on each laptop. The device itself seems high quality. It's very small in size but the fingerprint pad itself is relatively big, and it easily identifies my fingers. Very pleased with it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most reliable 3rd party fingerprint sensor I have found. *by C***. on 5 April 2026* This sensor was significantly more expensive than others, but it is the most reliable I have used. My laptop has a built-in sensor which works well, but at home I use large external monitors, and keyboard, and my laptop remains closed - so I wanted a sensor that I could connect to a USB extension cable. I had a semi-generic Chinese make that worked well for a few years, but recently has been failing to recognise my fingerprint on around 50% of the attempts. I could not buy a direct replacement from Amazon, I tried a similar alternative, and it was worse. Finally I splashed out on this Kensington item. It works excellently, and even shows a small light when reading a fingerprint -red or white. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Low accuracy, not really worth its cost in time *by B***T on 16 July 2024* It’s cool to have a fingerprint sensor. And often, they work super well. My hands could be sopping wet when I get to my MacBook and while I wouldn’t handle my MacBook in that state, I’m highly confident it would pick up my fingerprint still anyway. For £30, the verimark falls short of that by far. It was easy to set up and worked well with my desktop (I put it in the USB port my keyboard has), and it looks cool on the keyboard. It’s plenty small enough and seemingly works with a lot more than just Microsoft’s surface devices. However, it just doesn’t pick up my fingerprint very well at all after initial scanning regardless of how clean my hands are. I’ve tried redoing it twice since and it still just refuses probably over half the time to recognise me. It also REALLY doesn’t help that unlike macOS, you either have to click or swipe up into the login screen and then either fail scanning your fingerprint something like 5-7 times or press some fiddly buttons to have the right to enter your pin in Windows 11 if you start to realise the sensor won’t work. All in all, I just tragically can’t recommend it for £30. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kensington VeriMark™ Gen2 USB-A Fingerprint Key Reader - Windows Hello & Windows Hello for Business, Tap and Go, Anti-Spoofing (K64704WW) - Kensington VeriMark Desktop USB Fingerprint Key Reader - Windows Hello, FIDO U2F, FIDO2 (K62330WW) - Yubico - YubiKey 5C NFC - Two-Factor authentication (2FA) Security Key, Connect via USB-C or NFC, FIDO Certified - Protect Your Online Accounts --- ## 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.co.za/products/203808457-kensington-verimark-gen2-usb-a-fingerprint-key-reader-windows-hello](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/203808457-kensington-verimark-gen2-usb-a-fingerprint-key-reader-windows-hello) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
