ATKey.Pro - FIDO2 Certified Security Key, USB Fingerprint authenticaiton USB-A Ports, Protect Online Accounts : Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Google, Bank of America, Facebook, Twitter, Apple

I’ve been searching for a good finger print reader that works with Windows Hello as well as FIDO U2F for websites that support it. The published specs for false positives and false negatives for this reader is comparable or better than TouchID found on iOS devices, which is reassuring. I already have a YubiKey, so I wanted a 2nd backup key. The AUTHENTREND ATKey.Pro fits the bill. It works great with Windows Hello, as well as websites that support U2F, such as Google, Facebook, and Dropbox etc. And since it supports U2F, I can confirm that it works on the aforementioned websites on both PC and Mac. I mounted it under my desk close to my mouse and keyboard so it’s within easy reach. It also came with a soft silicone cover with a key ring loop if you plan to carry it around. Be sure to install the ATKey app from their website so you can update the firmware if needed as well as set up Windows Hello Companion Device, so you can use it to unlock Windows.It’s not the cheapest security key, but you should not cheap out when it comes to securing your data. All in all I’m very satisfied with this device and would recommend it for anyone looking for a versatile security key and fingerprint reader.

This item is advertised very prominently as having Linux support. This is NOT true. It does NOT work with Linux...it only works inside the Chrome Browser on Linux, which is VERY different from being usable as a login verification method. The device's USB ID (31bb:0622) is not listed in the supported devices list at the Linux fingerprint software developers' guide. Testing on a Linux machine proves that it doesn't work for login purposes..

Better portability than standard keys. The protective case is secure, and stays on keychain and the key can be pulled out when needed. Self enrollment is quick and easy to use. Plus, it is simple enough to recall the process later if needed. Works great as a security key, Firefox recognized it as a key for my service providers. The speed of the fingerprint reader is amazing, and reliable. I’ve been using it for two weeks with different services and have had no issues. Usage on macOS, a few *nix systems, and Windows is the same. As a security key it is system agnostic. Windows Hello integration was quick with the manufacturer’s app, which also provides firmware updates. Overall impressed and excited for wider acceptance of FIDO2 and secure passwordless login.

It is not plug and play under Windows 10 or 11 23h2 and Linux Fedora. Very bad Linux Support

So far this has answered the call for everything I have used it for. Plug and play and site compliant. Setup problems are due to different website requirements and protocols. Instant access to Windows, secondary authentication to websites.

It does not use when starting Windows, only after you start with another method, password, key code, ..., is activated and will work conditionally, you do not have to restart, log off, sign out, change the account. Used only when the computer goes to sleep. It doesn't help when you start Windows. Password Manager only works with Chrome, enabling the extension, no extension enabled does not exist. Useless for Firefox, Opera or any other browser. Use on another computer requires the installation of drivers and software. Setup is not easy. It does not specify whether passwords are stored on the device, in the cloud, on the server, in the extension. To find out how it works and how to configure it, you have to search the WEB for the indicated site, the drivers, one from a site, one from the Microsoft Store.

First, dmesg shows the device is recognized.[67134.183594] usb 1-4: new high-speed USB device number 9 using xhci_hcd[67134.352338] usb 1-4: config 1 interface 0 altsetting 0 bulk endpoint 0x2 has invalid maxpacket 64[67134.352341] usb 1-4: config 1 interface 1 altsetting 0 bulk endpoint 0x4 has invalid maxpacket 64[67134.369339] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=31bb, idProduct=0622, bcdDevice= 1.00[67134.369342] usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=30, SerialNumber=49[67134.369343] usb 1-4: Product: ATKey.Pro-01C01F67[67134.369344] usb 1-4: Manufacturer: AuthenTrend Technology Inc.[67134.369345] usb 1-4: SerialNumber: xxxxxxxx=0-00-0000-0000-00000xxxxxxxSecond, the am_u2f dependency is required to make pam_u2f.so available.Third, follow the ubuntu video in this product page.It works without any tweaks to libfprint.

After a string of authenticators off of amazon that weren't really FIDO certified (Kensiginton) or didn't work as advertised, it is a low bar for a finger print reader to just work, but this one does. The website is in English, the manual has clear instructions that worked. Will update if I have problems.
