Doesn't work on all applications
Excellent, except some applications do not recognize it. Sure is a fast, secure and easy way to fire up the system.

Works perfectly!
Kensington Fingerprint Scanner works perfectly. Have been using it for about a week now without and issues. Works much better than the older Kensington which was plugged into a usb port with a side facing reader. Easy install.... just plug it in and it works.

Solves an annoying problem
I bought this for my work computer. I use a laptop for work and it’s constantly connected to a docking station, which makes the built-in fingerprint reader difficult to access. Using this fingerprint reader, I’m able to leave it connected to the dock and every time I get to the office and connect my laptop it fires right up. I have had no issues configuring it with Windows hello and it seems to work every time.

Small and very functional
Easily placed near a mousepad or keyboard, this worked plug-and-play with Windows Hello. I just went to the settings and trained my fingerprints not needing any special driver or software added. It now unlocks my computer at login time and gives me a simple unlock to stored website passwords. It's a bit more secure than a PIN or password which someone else might learn by watching you use your computer. Up to you however if you want to exclude PIN and password backups if your fingerprint ceases to operate the security device. It is a good value for the money. Quite lightweight and unobtrusive. It does scan your whole fingerprint at once, but is not much bigger than a postage stamp in scanning surface.

Quick & reliable reader
Windows 11 plug n play. No issues using with windows hello or with apps like 1password and it’s surprisingly quick. Also great that I can place it anywhere on my desk. Can recommend this little time saver without issue

Works as Advertized
Worked as advertiized. Windows 11 recognized the device and the reader works great.

Worked for a while - Now it is useless
UPDATE:I've had it about a month and a half. Or about 2 weeks past the return window. It got more and more fussy about reading our fingerprints. I thought it was just me because of dirt and oil and whatever on my hands from working in the garage. But my wife had the same issues.Now it's just a useless piece of junk.I switched over to Digital Persona 4500 fingerprint reader. I haven't had any issues since. You can find them on Amazon - but buying a used one on eBay from a reputable seller is the better bet. It also costs a lot less. They don't come with drivers. However all you need to do is google Digital Persona 4500 driver and look for the HID Global website to find them. It's no more complicated than downloading any other driver and installing it.Original:I've had it about a week and so far so good. I started looking at these when one of our kiddos somehow obtained our Windows pin #, then used that to obtain some other sensitive information from our desktop computer and got himself in a boatload of trouble....I'm using Win 10 and it was very easy to get it set up with Windows Hello. Now instead of entering a PIN or password we just touch our finger.I couldn't get this to work with Dashlane. So we switched to NordPass and now instead of entering the master password to unlock it we just touch our finger.I initially encountered some issues with it going to sleep and not waking up as others have mentioned. After doing some research I double checked the BIOS settings to make sure the USB ports were powered even if the machine was off. That was how BIOS was set - so that wasn't the issue.I then checked in device manager and under Power Management I had to uncheck a box that allowed the computer to turn it off to save power. Once I did that I haven't had any issues with it not working.I love the small size of it. I'm not entirely sure the kiddos even know what it is.The adhesive on it was worthless. Even after cleaning the desk with an alcohol wipe and letting it dry the adhesive on it didn't last a day. I replaced it with a good quality double sided tape and haven't had any issues. There isn't much weight to it - so you really do need to secure it to the desk for it to be usable.It's much easier and faster to touch a finger and log into windows, and log into the password manager. And it keeps any kiddos from looking over our shoulders. It's a win win situation. Couldn't be happier so far. Will update if it doesn't last or other issues crop up.

Only works on Windows
Worked fine on my Windows machine for years, but I was disappointed to find Kensington doesn't support Linux when I switched operating systems recently. Just be aware, this will not function on a Linux machine.
