Kensington Vingerafdruksleutel - VeriMark Guard USB-A vingerafdruksleutel, biometrische sleutel voor laptops, tablets, iPads en notebooks - Beschermt uw laptop en ondersteunt Windows, Chrome, macOS en iOS (K64708WW)

I bought 2 as a backup, but none worked with Windows 11 23H2. No driver is available and it's detected and just normal USB fido not fingerprint. So it's not a faulty device - but a product itself. Windows Hello will not work and when trying to register to outlook -> it loops between PIN/fingerprint and error. So can't use at all.

Bought this (Guard Version) hoping I could use my Intel Based Mac Book Pro (provided by work) with an External USB Keyboard (with USB Ports), Mouse and two monitors. with the aim of having the MBP lid closed while I work.The Docs and marketing blurb, clearly state it works with MacOS, cross platform.But I needed fingerprint auth for my 1Password and other authentication challenges on the Mac.Thing is the MacBookPro already has a Fingerprint reader on the laptop keyboard. (Which is now closed)My hope was that using an external USB Keyboard with USB 3.x pass through i would somehow be able to use the Kensington Key (with its software) to act as the fingerprint service on the Mac.This is clearly not the case, as I try this out and how locked MacOS is around security I can't see it working with out using some sort of MDM / Endpoint Management software, which you don't get at home.So on MacOS (Monterey)Point 1. this seems to require a USB 3.1 (Blue) port to work.Initially i had a USB 2.0 Port (On my official Apple USBC dongle) on my Mac and it would not read although it registered in the App as device present.So feedback 1. In your app do a check for type of port the device is on and advise user if its on incorrect port.Switching to a USB 3.x port and the App was apple to register my finger print.But all i have is now registered my fingerprint, the MacOS knows nothing of the device to use that for fingerprint authentication over the inbuilt service.All other apps built for MacOS OoTB have option to use FingerID (like 1password), but this is a proprietary service for the MacOS which assumes use of their fingerprint hardware, not some 3rd party.Point 2: I cannot see how this will work (right now) with MacOS for home users, it may work if you use MDM Endpoint enrolment whereby you bypass the default authentication with this app / device.Possibly the new Silicon based Macs will support this in future but even the OS does not expose '3rd party biometric authentication, right now AKAIK.Point 3: There is nothing in MacOS that allows you to setup fingerprint login, unless you use its own FingerPrint Reader on the Laptop Keyboard or if you have a new Silicon Based Mac their new Keyboard with fingerprint reader.It's a bold statement to say cross OS, when clearly there are requisites for this to work on MacOS.Which I may add do not seem to be called out in the product packaging.Point 4: I am going to test this on Windows 11, which I may add I expect will work because their OS is designed in such a way today to support lots of different hardware config. The MacOS by design is not.

Been unable to make it work with my password banks or even Windows access so far. Enlisting my fingerprints was easy enough, but the integration to my needs is not going well, even after reading quite a bunch online!

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.

Doesn't work under Windows 11 22H2
