Review: NOT READER, it’s a usb smartcard with fingersensor in addition to pin. - This is not a windows hello reader. The fingerprint scanner is fused to chip so unlikely to spoof and is used as alternative to on-device-stored pin-code (can be any symbols and long, same as password) to unlock certificate on device. Use of fingerprints is optional, can be used with pin-code only. Works with Google ID, Apple ID, Microsoft Cloud Account, Technically is should be able to work for Windows login, but not as a part of Hello, due to this is NOT a biometric device, but an actual certificate smart-card. Review: NOT WINDOWS HELLO COMPATIBLE - So I have an older version of this fingerprint reader I've been using for 3yrs on my desktop machine - it works flawlessly but doesn't support Passkey storage function. This is advertised as supporting Passkeys and in fact does support them - however, it can NOT be used for Windows Hello Login or Authentication. In simple terms, you can't login to windows with it or use it for anything other than a ubi-key type passkey device. so you'd need the older one to login to windows AND this one if you wanted that functionality. Absolutley worthless IMHO. ## Features - FIDO2 and FIDO U2F certified USB-A security key and fingerprint reader provides password-less and biometric single-factor, two factor, and multi-factor authentication; compatible with Windows, macOS, and Chrome.

This is advertised as supporting Passkeys and in fact does support them - however, it can NOT be used for Windows Hello Login or Authentication.

Absolutley worthless IMHO. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super happy with this Linux compatible FIDO2 fingerprint key *by I***N on May 7, 2026* I picked up the Kensington VeriMark Guard to use across both Windows and Linux, and I'm genuinely impressed with how well it works on both platforms. Setup on Windows was straightforward, and on Linux (Ubuntu 26.04) it worked with the standard libpam-u2f and fido2-tools packages — I was able to configure fingerprint authentication for gdm login, sudo, and SSH with no major issues. The fingerprint recognition is fast and reliable, and the form factor is outstanding — it sits nearly flush in a USB-A port, which is rare for a fingerprint security key. I've also set it up as a passkey on Google and Microsoft accounts, which worked without a hitch. If you're looking for a FIDO2 key with biometric support that works across platforms and is small enough to leave plugged in, this is the one to get. These are a bit pricey, but worth the convenience and portability you can't get from cheaper fingerprint readers. A final note worth sharing is that the entire thing is made of metal and is very sturdy. I was worried that since it sticks out a tiny bit it might snap off but i think it would break my USB port before breaking the key. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kensington FIDO U2F and FID02 USB-A Security Key and Fingerprint Reader - Windows, macOs, Chrome - Kensington VeriMark Desktop USB Fingerprint Key Reader - Windows Hello, FIDO U2F, FIDO2 (K62330WW) --- ## 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.lk/products/232147265-verimark-guard-usb](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/232147265-verimark-guard-usb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
