Works exceptionally well - mine is now 7 years old, in use every single day
By Mr. Picky on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2023
I was looking up fingerprint readers to buy one for someone else, to see what is new on the market, and tried a few. This remains, as far as I can tell, THE premium fingerprint reader, and is priced accordingly. Again, a far as I know: this company is the only one that makes an FBI approved fingerprint reader, used on their gun safes. The only issue I ever have is that in winter, my skin is sometimes very dry and under those circumstances, the reader occasionally (connected to my desktop PC) has a tough time reading my print. Putting things in perspective, the reader on my (expensive) company laptop reads absolutely nothing at all under the same circumstances. As noted by the company in big bold letters which people still seem to ignore - you MUST download and install drivers for the reader. It's very easy to do, but not optional. Personally, I like Roboform and use it everyday, just don't confuse the function or effectiveness of Roboform with the effectiveness of the fingerprint reader - two separate companies, with separate products, and it just suits their marketing purposes to "hold hands" from time to time. If you have an issue with Roboform, that isn't the fault of the print reader.

Did not work for me.

This review is for the Verifi P5100 Premium Metal USB Fingerprint Reader for Windows 10. I normally don't write reviews because you get some good and some bad products. No company can be perfect. However I felt impelled to write a review for this product because of the price compared to other fingerprint readers. I can't really rate this product because I never got it to work before sending it back. I purchased this product based on other reviews but mostly on the claims on the item page. It claims to work well and fast, easy install. I tried installing this item on three different computers, Windows 7, Windows 10, and windows 11. I got the same errors on all 3 computers: Your device is having trouble recognizing you. Make sure your sensor is clean. Sorry, something went wrong. Close Windows Hello, and try going through the setup again. Move your finger slightly lower. Move your finger slightly higher. Move your finger slightly to the left. Identical on all computers and operating systems. I am going to need over 100 of these for computer protection and if it is this hard to install on one computer I don't have the time to waste on 100+ computers. This item might work well for some but if it is that sensitive it won't work for my purpose anyway.
