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.

Slow, unreliable
By Steven D. Rothkin on Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2025
Unreliable. I had gotten it working but today it multiple times to refuse to even recognize I had put my finger on it. I tried unplugging/replugging and even tried redoing the Windows hello setup (Windows 11) -- even hello setup isn't seeing the finger touching the sensor. When it did work it always required several seconds - much slower than the built in sensor on my work laptop or the built-in sensor on my pixel 6 phone.
