Review: I can’t speak for longevity, yet… - Received this today for my new laptop. I bought the 16” ASUS VivoBook with the Ryzen 7 top-tier CPU for $399 and the CPU is legit worth every penny, but the downside to the laptop is it doesn’t have a 144Hz display, fingerprint reader, or backlit keyboard. Seeing how cheap this was compared to other hardware I was hesitant, but Kensington is a brand I trust so I took the leap. It installed the needed drivers in Windows 11 Pro immediately on insertion and within two minutes I had it programmed and working for Windows Hello login, Microsoft 365, and OneDrive Personal Drive. Kensington pulled through. I am using it in the USB 2.0 port on the left side of the laptop and when it’s ready to read, it engages the blue light letting you know it’s ready to scan, then turns off as soon as the biometrics pass. It works quickly, even with 2.0 (lower power, why I chose it), and the driver it uses from Windows works well. I didn’t even get a hit for a second/better driver with Iobit DriverBooster Pro, so I am pleased Kensington delivered. It came rattling in the box, which I very much disliked, but it’s a solid component that works well. I recommend. I can’t speak for its longevity, yet, but I will if anything negative happens. No news is good news. Cheers! 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 | #137 in Security & Surveillance Biometrics | | Brand | Kensington | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (3,076) | | Date First Available | March 29, 2017 | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | 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 ![Kensington VeriMark Gen1 USB-A Fingerprint Key Reader - Windows Hello, Anti-Spoofing (K67977WW) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61IgqyNloCL.jpg) ![Kensington VeriMark Gen1 USB-A Fingerprint Key Reader - Windows Hello, Anti-Spoofing (K67977WW) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813ccQ2M17L.jpg) ![Kensington VeriMark Gen1 USB-A Fingerprint Key Reader - Windows Hello, Anti-Spoofing (K67977WW) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71j0RgeBWpL.jpg) ![Kensington VeriMark Gen1 USB-A Fingerprint Key Reader - Windows Hello, Anti-Spoofing (K67977WW) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81H+Ecnwc+L.jpg) ![Kensington VeriMark Gen1 USB-A Fingerprint Key Reader - Windows Hello, Anti-Spoofing (K67977WW) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mFokU9fJL.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.

Once the fingerprint is recorded UNLOCK is about 100% when you touch your finger to the reader for passwordless authentication. You will notice that it has a keyring clip to attach to your keyring to take it with you. I am here to tell you...DO NOT NOT NOT TRUST THIS KEYRING CLIP !!!!!! Foolishly I attached it to my keyring so I can use this reader on more than one computer. BIG MISTAKE!! I arrived at my destination to use the reader. The clip was still attached to the keyring but the fingerprint reader was GONE! GONE! GONE! I realize now that since there is no actual latch to secure the reader to the keyring clip, it stays connected by friction, ONLY. Movement in your pocket can easily remove reader from clip. If you're lucky, you'll find the reader in your pocket. If you're unlucky (like me) the fingerprint will end up dropping on a street, sidewalk, or driveway and you'll NEVER see it again! If you transport this device, find a a way to keep it safe because the stock reader/keyring clip will separate, become lost, and you will NEVER see it again !! If not for the fact that I lost the reader off the keyring clip and will never see it again, I would have given this Five Stars. Because this resulted in the complete loss of the reader, I must knock off One Star because of this rather serious flaw. If you will not be transporting and keep it attached to one device, then this can be a GREAT fingerprint reader for you and I would RECOMMEND.. ## 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.it/products/82585113-kensington-verimark-gen1-usb-a-fingerprint-key-reader-windows-hello](https://www.desertcart.it/products/82585113-kensington-verimark-gen1-usb-a-fingerprint-key-reader-windows-hello) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
