Review: Reliable fingerprint reader for Windows Hello - Excellent fingerprint reader! Works seamlessly with Windows Hello for fast and secure login. Recognition is quick and very accurate. The anti-spoofing technology adds an extra layer of security. Easy to set up, just plug in and enroll your fingerprint. No more typing passwords! Review: Plug it in, Set it up, And it works! - I wanted to add biometric authentication to an older laptop. When I saw this item on sale during Black Friday, I took a chance and ordered it. As usual for desertcart where I live, the item arrived quickly and well packaged. After removing the keyring safety cap, I inserted the VeriMark key into an unused USB port and waited for Windows to download and install the necessary driver. Since I already had Windows Hello set up with a PIN, I simply needed to go to "Windows Settings->Sign-in options" (hint: go to Windows Settings and use the "Find a setting" search bar) set up the fingerprint reader. After that had been completed, I wanted to set up sites like Facebook and Google to use the VeriMark as a 2nd Factor authentication method (FIDO U2F). Try as I might, I could not get these sites to work with the VeriMark device. Since I am a Firefox user, I thought I should try Google Chrome. Low-and-behold, the device worked great with Chrome. After a quick search, I found an article that stated Firefox Quantum currently has U2F support disabled by default. A-ha! Hopefully, this will help others to fully enjoy this great device. Since I cannot post a link, perform a web search for "How to Navigate FIDO U2F in Firefox Quantum". While the FIDO U2F experience in Firefox is limited at the moment, turning it on is very simple. It only takes three steps. 1. Type about:config into the Firefox browser. 2. Search for “u2f”. 3. Make sure security.webauth.u2f is set to "true" to enable U2F support. ## Features - Advanced Fingerprint Technology combines superior biometric performance and 360° readability with anti-spoofing protection, while exceeding industry standards for False Rejection Rate (3%) and False Acceptance Rate (0.002%) - Login on your Windows computer (for Windows 10 please download the latest driver from the Kensington website) using Microsoft's built-in Windows Hello login feature with just your fingerprint, no need to remember usernames and passwords; can be used with up to 10 different fingerprints so multiple users can login to the same computer - One-way conversion of biometric data into a proprietary template format prevents re-creation, reverse-engineering or use for unintended purposes, thereby protecting the user from identity theft; All biometric data is encrypted and digitally signed using strong 256-bit advanced encryption standard and transport layer security technologies to prevent eavesdropping, tampering or fraud - Works in any PC (including Surface Pro 9/9/7/6/5/4) or docking station USB A port (USB 2. 0, 3. 0, 3. 1); also works in a USB-C port with a USB-C male to USB-A female adapter (not included) - FIDO U2F Certified - your fingerprint can protect your cloud based accounts such as Google, Dropbox, GitHub and Facebook with FIDO second-factor authentication (requires Chrome browser) - Compatible with Windows Hello, Windows 10 (download latest driver from the Kensington website), 8 and 7; NOT compatible with Mac OS or Chrome OS; Compact design easily attaches to a standard key ring for convenient portability - Password Manager Compatibility supports popular tools, like Dashlane, LastPass (Premium), Keeper (Premium) and Roboform, to allow the fingerprint to authenticate and automatically fill in usernames and passwords for websites. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01NAVWPOJ | | Best Sellers Rank | #192 in Security & Surveillance Biometrics | | Brand | Kensington | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (3,078) | | Date First Available | March 29, 2017 | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 0.8 x 0.6 x 0.4 inches | | Item Weight | 0.88 ounces | | Item model number | K67977WW | | Manufacturer | Kensington | | Number of Processors | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.8 x 0.6 x 0.4 inches | | Series | K67977WW | ## Images ![VeriMark Gen1 USB-A Fingerprint Key Reader - Windows Hello, Anti-Spoofing (K67977WW) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61IgqyNloCL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work on a chrome book?** A: No, The device is not compatible with Mac OS or Chrome OS (Chrome Books). **Q: Does it work with Mac** A: The VeriMark USB Fingerprint Key is not supported on Mac OS.

It's not as good as the built-in fingerprint reader on my other laptop. Has bright blue LED on top that lights up when it's waiting for your finger. Haven't tried the FIDO capabilities with browsers yet, but for Windows Hello login it works great. This is MUCH better than facial recognition--My laptop has several different accounts, and I move back and forth between them many times a day. With Windows Facial Recognition, you can only use your face for one account, but with the fingerprint reader, you can use different fingers for different accounts. It makes it very fast to switch between accounts. Installation is not quite automatic on Windows 11 yet. Windows doesn't automatically recognize the fingerprint reader when you plug it in. You need to follow the instructions in the Kensington Windows 11 installation guide, basically there is an optional (as far as Windows is concerned) driver update you need to install to get the Synaptics driver for the device. It took me less than one minute for the whole process. You DON'T need to use the Kensington Verimark Provisioning Tool, which records your fingerprints, that is built into Windows Hello. After you've installed the driver, you can go to Settings->Accounts->Sign in options, click on the fingerprint section, and it will lead you through recording your fingerprints. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kensington VeriMark Gen1 USB-A Fingerprint Key Reader - Windows Hello, Anti-Spoofing (K67977WW) - Kensington VeriMark Desktop USB Fingerprint Key Reader - Windows Hello, FIDO U2F, FIDO2 (K62330WW) - Yubico - YubiKey 5C NFC - Two-Factor authentication (2FA) Security Key, Connect via USB-C or NFC, FIDO Certified - Protect Your Online Accounts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/82585113-verimark-gen1-usb-a-fingerprint-key-reader-windows-hello-anti](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/82585113-verimark-gen1-usb-a-fingerprint-key-reader-windows-hello-anti) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
