## Description

Secure login with 360-degree fingerprint sensor that authenticates in just 0.05 seconds. Designed for Windows 11/10 with support for up to 10 fingerprints.

Review: Really good for the price - 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.
Review: Biometrics in the Security Authentication Field is the future - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I installed and had two attempts to get it working, and it will not work. "User cancellation or authorisation failed" Win10 up to date**
A: If Windows 10 isn't picking up the Fingerprint reader's drivers right away. 

Go to your Device Manager, locate the "ELAN Fingerprint Sensor" device, right-click and click Update Drivers.
Click on "Search automatically for drivers", if none is found, then click on "Search for updated drivers in Windows Update" (wait 2-5 minutes).
If still nothing, perform a restart via the start menu (not shutdown), and try the above again, if Windows 10 is still isn't picking up the drivers.

Driver version: ELAN Finger Print 3.10.12001.10102

Can confirm working on Windows 10 version 21H2.

**Q: does this have a file lock capability, so individual files can be protected on a shared pc?**
A: Yes, you can lock/encrypt/decrypt  individual files but you need to download & instal the Smart-ID software from the website before you can do this.

**Q: Driver unavailable on every usb port tried on a widows 10, alienware m15. suggestions?**
A: It doesn't need a driver per se, it will run on a Windows 10 PC that has Windows Hello installed. If there are issues with Windows Hello, go to Start - Settings - Accounts - Sign in Options where it is located.

**Q: The device is in the device manager with a yellow triangle (no driver found) Driver is in download folder, tried installing, failed, same with update**
A: My recollection is that I plugged it in and Windows figured out the driver itself. It's been a while.

I am running Windows 11. At the time I got the device, I was running Windows 10. It seems to work better under Windows 11.

I would not be surprised if there were driver problems with versions of Windows before Windows 10. You do not mention what version you are running. If you are running something earlier than Windows 10, I would suggest upgrading. Things have come a long way since the days of Windows 7.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fussy To Set Up But Works Fine Once Set
*by D***S on 1 August 2025*

I plugged this into one of my spare USB ports and windows 11 didn't initially recognise the device. Tried another USB port and same again. Go into windows account settings and tried to setup using windows hello fingerprint device and it just went around in circles with taking your fingerprint and creating a pin. Gave up and rebooted my pc , with the fingerprint reader left plugged in, upon restarting windows seem to recognise the fingerprint reader and asked if it wanted to be setup....I just followed the setup steps and it now works with no issues. I also had problems with some apps asking for my fingerprint when signing in, this is a setting in Google Password Manager, settings, turn off " use windows hello when filling passwords" and email login , app login will just stay logged in. Overall, the device works well, I think it was more of a windows bug that initially tripped me up so plug it in and restart windows and it should offer you the option to setup the reader during the start up of windows.
