Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Windows 10 Hello USB Fingerprint Reader - Benss Fingerprint Scanner for PC, Instant 0.05s Windows Login & Password-Free Access by Tony Wylie

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Small, easy and fast to use with Windows Hello/SAP etc - perfect for laptop

As you can see in the picture I have been testing and working with many fingerprint sensors for almost 20 years. The Benss sensor is by far the smallest we've tested. Two Benss sensors can be seen in the picture. can you find her We recently integrated our bioLock biometric control center for SAP ERP with Windows Hello. Therefore, we identify user-friendly and easy-to-install fingerprint devices that work with Windows Hello. From the user's point of view, the Benss sensor clearly deserves a recommendation. On some laptops, installation was a little tricky and required downloading drivers from the vendor's website (as stated on the box). Other laptops like Lenovo and Dell were plug and play BUT they had to be rebooted after installation to see the sensor. We also tested the device with a Microsoft Surface with built-in facial recognition. Face ID and fingerprinting struggled here, and we had to disable face ID for it to work well. But an ordinary buyer will buy this device for a laptop without biometrics installed and will be very pleased with how quickly the sensor logs into Windows. You can also create multiple windows profiles (family) and each of them can enroll their finger in their profile (optionally you can enroll multiple fingers of different users in the same profile). But we like the ability for the user to place a finger and it identifies the user by finger and opens the user profile. This is ideal for quick user switching when multiple users share a PC for small tasks (warehouse, healthcare, etc.). Great product, but always keep it in the laptop otherwise you have to search for a long time ๐Ÿ˜Š
