The VeriMark Desktop Fingerprint Key is a fingerprint authentication key for desktop PCs that can be used via USB connection, introduced by Kensington, a PC peripheral device maker. It can memorize up to 10 fingerprints, and the fingerprint data is stored in the key without leaving it on the PC, so you can use it with confidence.
Fingerprint authentication is natural in smartphones and laptops, but desktops still rely on passwords unless external components are added. The strength of biometric authentication is that it is more secure than multi-factor authentication and two-factor authentication, let alone passwords. This product comes with a 1.2m cable, so it can be placed a little further away from the desktop PC.
This product also has compatibility (FIDO2/WebAuthn) by receiving authentication standards such as FIDO (Fast Identity Online) and U2F (Universal Second Factor). In addition, Windows Hello, a Windows 10 biometric recognition system, is available, so you can use functions such as Office 365, Azure, and Outlook.
In fact, if you are using Google Chrome, there is a convenient function to manage passwords, but there is always a risk of leakage, such as someone using the same PC without switching user accounts. What you don’t have to worry about is physical biometrics.
360 degrees can be authenticated by placing your finger at any angle, and the self-rejection rate is 2%. 0.001% of people are wrongly authenticated. It is good for personal use, but you can expect the effect on the desktop PC for business. The price is 74.99 dealers. Related information can be found here.
