Review on πŸ”’ TEC Mini USB Fingerprint Reader: Password-Free Security for Windows 10 Hello by Dre Bhatt

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well; Form factor can be improved

I bought two of these, the first which allows me to log into my win 10 tablet with my fingerprint and the second which allows me to log into my win 10 laptop without the Lift the lid to access the built-in fingerprint scanner when it is on the docking station. As others have pointed out, getting the system to recognize the device is an extra step, but it's simple and a one-time feature. WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW: 1. It works very well. Recognizes my fingers every time and logs me in quickly.2. The price is right compared to alternatives. MUCH more affordable.3. The USB connector is a bit long which protrudes further from the computer than I would like. It would be better if the reader's "head" was snug against the computer. If you're using it as an external laptop reader, it's a perfect match for this weighted USB extender: https://www.amazon. com/gp/product/B001K9BFB8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title
