Security USB Biometric Fingerprint Reader Password Lock for Laptop PC Silver, Model: 5691147, Electronic Store

First and foremost, there are conflicting claims as to whether or not this supports Window's Biometrics Framework (WBF). It does not! Because of that, the only compatible software I've found is the application supplied by the manufacturer. It does not work with third-party software like RoboForm, LastPass, or Chrome. Even the manufacturer's supplied application does not interface with Chrome.The reader is actually quite good and consistently reads my prints. I don't have to concentrate and hold my breath every time I try to swipe a finger. It is quite easy to log into Windows and I have it programmed with my fingers and my wife's fingers so both of us can use it with ease. The other cool feature the application has is a partitioned 'secure drive' that is unlocked and locked via fingerprint. It's encrypted and relatively secure, but I don't know how strong the security is there. The last feature in the application uses finger swipes to launch applications, go to websites, auto login, and perform some basic functions. I actually liked this part of the application and felt it could be quite useful for some users.Overall, I don't like this product because of the poor integration. That is the sole obstacle between this product coming in at 2 stars versus 5. I can overlook the little things like poorly translated manuals, drivers/applications on a mini-cd and no software downloads via the website. I would prefer that it was a micro USB connection instead of a mini, but those are all minor complaints that are really irrelevant. If this product could interface with other applications and if it supported WBF, this would be an easy five stars.

It's an OK (at best) scanner but you have to install and use the BioExcess (*) software which is very iffy and while it mostly works most of the time it sometimes messes up with pretty spectacular results. For instance one thing it loves to do about every week is to start emitting <CR> (**) keystrokes at a very high rate, which then prompts Windows to activate the narrator service, and then of course all sorts of hilarity ensues.Having said that, there are now inexpensive devices out there that integrate with WBF (Windows Biometric Framework) and I would say that shopping for that (if you use Windows) would probably give a better user experience.* That's the name, seriously Chinese company, hire an English as first language person to name this stuff, BioExcess sounds like someone who has a huge need to hit the toilet.** It's double funny that <CR>, carriage return is the keystroke since it's also the shorthand for comfort room, which fits right in with the BioExcess theme. Accident? I THINK NOT! lol.

I got this product to make it easier to log into a computer.This feature will only work if you are using a user that has full administrator access. If you have anything else the software that you use to scan in your finger prints will tell you, This is not for guest or users without full access. I tried using "Run As" to run the program as an administrator to setup a non administrator account. I was able to set the finger prints up but when I tried to log in with finger prints for the non administrative account I got the blue screen of death on Windows XP Pro SP3 with the latest patches.If you are buying this for yourself and you have full administrative access on your computer then it works fine.Otherwise don't buy this one.

This product worked well and I had it working in less then 5 minutes. The directions aren't extremely clear but all you have to do is put in the CD, Install the file that says "setup" and then install the one that says "BioExcess." Then you restart your computer and when it starts back up, look for bioexcess in the system tray and right click on it. Then you hit the setup wizard and from there it is strait foward.Pros: works well, easy-to-use software, comes with other software (that I have yet to use)Cons: the reader itself is light so the wire is heavier and it the reader might slide around, but I'm planning on mounting mine so I won't have that problem. Directions aren't entirely clear but when I put above might help...

First of all, you won't find anything close to this reader for the price! After I set it up, it rarely misreads my finger scan, you just can't go too fast. The only problem I have encountered, and it may have nothing to do with the reader, is that some websites I use, especially banks and credit cards, you still have to type in your user name. Some sites use seperate pages for username and passwords, and this doesn't help much with them.

I bought two of these. Both work about the same. I have a fingerprint reader on my HP laptop that I use as the standard for these things. It works every time without fail. This item works 50% of the time at best. You have to scan a very specific section of your finger at a specific speed to make it work. Also the software that comes with it is crap. So, in summary, if you want a fingerprint reader that only works 50% of the time and comes with clunky software, get this one!

It works well for getting me into my computer, but unfortunately it does not seem to work with installed programs such as lastpass. I have a built in scanner on my laptop and it works great for all types of programs but can't get this one to do more than gaining me entry into my computer.

This item works most of the time. Just remember install software FIRST THEN plug it in. For the most part make sure your finger is dry, not. So if you recently washed your hands dry real good or you will NEVER get in. Even with dry fingers I have had to swipe several times before getting in. I suggest spending the money and getting a better quality product. BUT for laptops and on the go people this is fine. It's small and will do the job. just have to have patience and get the swipe technique down real good.

Se trata de un detector de huella digital que da problemas a la hora de configurarlo. No detecta bien la huella, y hay que hacer varios ensayos. Una vez está configurado da "error de lectura dactilar", unas veces porque no detecta, otras porque se hace el desplazamiento demasiado rápido. El caso es que "nunca puedes hacerlo a la primera". Además el sistema que usa es por desplazamiento del dedo sobre una ranura con un lector lumínico. Ésta ranura es la que da problemas si aprietas mucho la yema del dedo sobre ella, o pasas la huella dactilar demasiado rápida.Mi valoración es media (3 estrellas). Se podría mejorar mucho el dispositivo.

Comme l'a indiqué Christophe dans son commentaire, ce lecteur est compatible Windows 10 une fois que les drivers adéquats sont installés.Je l'utilise aussi avec LastPass sans aucun soucis.
