Review on Kensington VeriMark USB Fingerprint 5 Pack by Mike Bogan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great

My goal when buying it was to use it for Windows Hello (allows Windows login with biometrics) I'm using the latest one Version of Windows 10 Professional. I plugged in the device, but the Plug and Play driver installation dialog box still didn't appear. Device manager said it was "Unknown device". I downloaded the drivers from the manufacturer's website, installed them and nothing changed. *FIX* In this case, use Windows Update > Optional Updates - this will correctly detect the device and download the necessary drivers. After that, the device was recognized and worked perfectly. *NOTE* If your system does not allow the use of Windows Hello Fingerprint, do the following: Start > Run: gpedit.msc > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Biometrics Enable "Allow use of biometrics" Enable "Allow users". log in with biometrics" Enable "Allow domain users to log in with biometrics" (if you're on a domain) (-: works great :-)

Pros
  • Works with any USB-A port (USB 2.0, 3.0, 3.1)
Cons
  • Only available in black
