After a string of authenticators from Amazon that weren't actually FIDO certified (Kensiginton) or didn't work as advertised, this is a low bar for a fingerprint reader to just work but that one does here. The site is in English, the instructions have clear instructions that worked. I will update if there are problems.

Greater portability than standard keys. The protective case is secure and stays on the keychain, and the key can be pulled out when needed. Self-registration is quick and easy to use. Plus, it's easy enough to remember the process later if needed. Works great as a security key, Firefox recognized it as a key for my service providers.

Revain's post talks about Linux compatibility but not much detail so I got it and quickly realized there was no OS login. I sent an email to the seller who replied very quickly and confirmed that only browser support for applications like FIDO, U2F, FIDO2 is available on Linux.

The description says it works with Linux. After trying this and it didn't work, I asked them and they told me it works in Linux web browsers. I have no idea if it even works because when I found out it doesn't really work with "Linux" (which is an operating system, NOT a web browser) I shelved it before I even started using it .

I was looking for a good fingerprint scanner that works with Windows Hello and FIDO U2F for sites that support it. The published false positive and false negative rates for this reader are comparable or better than TouchID on iOS devices, which is encouraging. I already have a YubiKey, so I need a second spare key. AUTHENTREND ATKey.Pro is just the ticket. It works great with Windows Hello as well as websites that support U2F like Google, Facebook, Dropbox, etc. And since it supports U2F, I can
