Description
Kensington FIDO USB Fingerprint Reader Key is a cutting-edge device that offers the latest in biometric authentication technology. FIDO2 and FIDO U2F certified, this USB-A security key and fingerprint reader provides password-less and biometric single-factor, two-factor, and multi-factor authentication, making it an ideal solution for individuals and organizations looking for robust security measures.
One of the standout features of the Kensington FIDO USB Fingerprint Reader Key is its cross-platform compatibility. It is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Chrome, offering expanded authentication options for a variety of platforms. This is supported via the device’s Tap-and-Go feature, which combines a username and password with second-factor security key authentication to enable extra security on non-FIDO2 services.
The device is also FIDO2 and FIDO U2F certified, which means that it offers maximum compatibility with web services, including Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. For Windows Hello, users can refer to VeriMark or VeriMark IT for further instructions.
One of the key benefits of the Kensington FIDO USB Fingerprint Reader Key is its robust design. It exceeds industry standards for false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR), ensuring that users can trust the device to provide accurate and reliable authentication every time. Additionally, it supports GDPR compliance and is TAA-compliant, making it an ideal choice for use in U.S. Federal Government institutions and organizations.
The device’s compact design features a protective cover and tether, which allows it to be used in a docking station or USB hub. It also supports up to 10 fingerprints, ensuring that multiple users can securely access the device.
Kensington stands behind their product and offers a two-year coverage and lifetime technical support. Their website provides an up-to-date listing of supported software and services.
For biometric support on macOS and Chrome OS, users must first configure Windows Hello for Microsoft Services and Dropbox login authentication. Without this configuration, the security key will still work as a Tap-and-Go solution but will not support biometric authentication.
Overall, the Kensington FIDO USB Fingerprint Reader Key is an excellent choice for individuals and organizations looking for a secure and reliable biometric authentication solution. With its cross-platform compatibility, robust design, and advanced features, it is sure to meet the needs of even the most security-conscious users.
