🔒 ARCANITE USB Fingerprint Reader AKFSD-07 for Windows 10 Hello - Enhanced 360-Degree Sensor Security Device with 0.05s Response Time Review

My work laptop locks the screen if left unattended for 10 minutes. Our password policy requires a complex password. I used to type my password with "fat fingers" many times, so this little device solved most of those problems, just by placing a finger on the reader, the lock screen will quickly unlock. Now, once my screen is locked, I just touch that reader and it unlocks quickly. Sometimes the fingerprint is not read and I have to enter a PIN (or password) to get back into the system. Due to…

I tried everything to make this thing work. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, moved it to another USB port, that's it. I even tried reinstalling Windows to get it working. Nothing. Period. It reads the first two attempts to touch it when I add my first fingerprint, but when I touch it the third time it throws an error no matter what the angle and forces me to start over . I've done this at least 20-30 times. This device is useless. I will not be returning it because it might result in someone…

ADVANTAGES: 1. Works immediately after connecting to a Windows 10 PC and setting up fingerprint login; No driver download required. 2. VERY quickly recognizes fingerprints; CONS: 1. Disconnects from USB connector from time to time which requires some shaking to work. 2. Stopped working once and I had to disconnect and reconnect to get it working again. These little annoyances are worth not typing the password to unlock the computer every time!

For my laptop it was just plug and play, didn't even require additional drivers. Once connected I set up Windows Hello and it was a simple process. Fingerprint recognition is very fast, I can't even estimate how long it will take, it seems instantaneous. Just to make sure it's accurate I ran a lot of tests and it really is accurate (because I couldn't believe how fast it was). Worth it for my laptop!

I'm glad others have had success with their fingerprint readers, but the one I have doesn't work well enough to use for anything. I tried this in my keyboard's USB hub and the device moves in the slot just enough to disconnect and reconnect with every touch. This isn't very practical for something that needs to be touched in order for it to work. Other devices in this slot are working properly. I plugged it directly into the front of the PC, which isn't very convenient for using the fingerprint
