ARCANITE USB Fingerprint Reader for Windows 11/10 Hello, 0.05s 360-Degree Sensor Security Device Login, Security Lock

It works really well, Windows 11 recognized it and installed it automatically and it was ready to go. Fingerprint enrolment is easy and recognition is prompt enough and accurate. You need to keep the finger maybe 2s on the reader but I think that's reasonable.My laptop's integrated finger print reader is not any better so I'm guessing the only FP reader possibly quicker than this one would be a Kensington FP reader, but for almost double the price? no thanks.The build of the reader feels solid, made of metal and not some cheap plastic and the FP area is actually really good, bigger than most laptop integrated ones.For the twenty something pounds I paid for it, I'm really happy with the product.

Works perfectly with Windows Hello. Perfectly registers fingerprints and unlocks without any issue.One slight issue is that it doesn't work with multiple computers. You can unplug it and plug it back in but the moment you register it, it just forgets your fingerprint.Overall, at £20 it's an utter steal. A much easier way to log in.

I needed a USB fingerprint scanner for Windows Hello on my desktop mini PC.The Arcanite device correctly reads my fingerprint about 70% of the time on the first attempt - not bad, but still not as good as my Android phone and my iPad. Windows 11 recognised it straight away and it works well with Windows Hello. Nice bonus is that touching the scanner wakes up my PC from sleep and logs me in in one hit - super convenient when it works. I have setup one finger for my standard user account and a different finger for the admin account, so when Windows asks for the admin password when installing software or changing settings, I can authenticate using my fingerprint. In summary, a pretty good product, about half the price of the Kensington alternative but still a bit overpriced for what it is.

Works fantastic, very easy to set up. excellent quality materials, the size is tiny, can easily leave it plugged in as a fixture, totally worth the money

I was using it on win 10 and 11 and I was using just fine. I was using it to unlock my pc and also to log in to password manager. But after 1 year and 10 months it just stopped working causing me some issues. Tried on 2 different machines as it's just dead. I went to support website but it doesn't seem to work so I won't be buing it again, I'm going to give a go another provider.

I’m thrilled with the ARCANITE USB Fingerprint Reader! It’s super easy to set up and works flawlessly with Windows 11. The 0.05s response time is impressive, and the 360-degree sensor ensures it works from any angle. Adding fingerprint recognition to my laptop has been a game-changer—quick and secure login every time! Highly recommend!

Supplied in typical card/bubble plastic (like a MicroSD memory card). Fitted into laptop easily without being overnight or overloose. Initially not detected by laptop USB port on righthand side (user right-handed). Moved device to left side USB port and device found and drivers loaded. Now works in both left and righthand USB ports.Using Windows 11 Pro 22H2 scanned fingerprints on each hand. Process was reasonably straight forward once best scanning technique was found. Other fingerprint scanned easily.In use, this was were things went downhill. At best only managed about 20% success rate with unlocking the laptop (Windows) using the fingerprint reader. Also was hoping this would work with Bitwarden Password Manager and whilst the Windows Client worked OK, integration into the Web Browser add-ins either didn't work or was even less successful/reliable.After a lot of online research it appeared that is was unlikely to fit required use case and and improvement in reliability, so reluctantly had to return.

This is my 2nd device Fingerprint USB Biometric device which works perfectly fine under Microsoft Windows Hello! ++ authentication, which in turn, now allows me to seamlessly login to my desktop and on OATH type application such as password managers and other Applications/Services which normally would have required 2FA or complicated, MFA and use of 2nd devices to use as authentication.Specifically, I estimate the combination of using a fingerprint as a means to validate login credentials & seemless integration into OS's Platform & Apps has speed up the entire process by a number of minites each day, which cumulatively adds up quickly. Best of all, I'm able to drop from my own brain's memory the countless variations of passwords, i had to remember previously used across multiple Devices and WebApps/Domains. This is really one of those "No-brainers" type solutions to a common problem of Keychain management (via pwd manager).Its sturdy design with metal body housing makes this unit feel robust to last many years of repeated, daily usage! Best of all, if for whatever reason the device should malfunction in the future, you have redundant fallback to either PIN/Password/Facial recognition (if enabled on App/OS) to maintain the same levels of security.. This really is a Win/Win! Simple, Fast (0.5ms) & responsive biometric authentication, all whilst maintaining high levels of secured encryption, without complex passwords. I now own 2 of these fingerprint USB devices, One is deployed onto my main BMC Server and the Second is deployed onto my Desktop machine, I will be acquiring a third for my PVE Hypervisor as a replacement for WebAuth / PAM passkey authentication.
