TEC Mini USB Fingerprint Reader for Windows 11/10 Hello, TEC TE-FPA2 Bio-Metric Fingerprint Scanner PC Dongle for Password-Free and File Encryption, 360° Touch Speedy Matching Security Key

This fingerprint reader works 10 times better than the one on my cellphone. It takes fingerprint readings multiple times of overlapping sections of your finger until it has a relatively large area of your fingerprint information stored making it less finicky when you use it. I don't know if this is a feature of the reader of Windows 11, but it sure takes the hassle out of using it. It can read your print from any angle just as the description above says. Excellent product, I am very satisfied with it.

This USB fingerprint reader works perfectly with my Dell work laptop running both Windows 10 and Windows 11. I’ve used mine for nearly a year now and I’ve never had a problem.Sometimes it’ll stop working so I’ll just remove it and plug it back in just like any other USB device.This thing saves me from having to enter a 14 character password into my work laptop every time I need to login! It’s a true lifesaver and biometrics are more secure than a password.

I've had reasonably good success with using this device with Windows 11. There are times when it doesn't recognize my fingerprints though. I've rerun the setup 3-4 times, and it seems to be working fairly reliably now. Login is nearly instantaneous, and the build quality appears to be good. Overall, I am very satisfied with how well it works.

I have had the best luck with windows hello on windows 11 with multiple fingerprint scanners from TEC

It worked the first time, was usb so no driver issues. Now I get login with a finger touch and no need to use passwords unless the device fails or the lens gets dirty. Downsides are lack of good documentation, and decreased security reported with some fingerprint readers. I have found this to be one of my favorite additions to my computer and wish I had bought it sooner. It resides on the bottom facing edge of my desk attached with Velcro. I even prefer this to facial recognition as it is not necessary to worry about snooping. Highly recommended, but be sure to set a pin in Windows Hello for backup and consider adding a second fingerprint for backup.

Does not appear to work properly with Windows 11 Pro 24H2. The device is recognized as working in Device Manager. Required Credential and Biometric services are all running, but device remains unavailable in Hello settings. AI search for answers replied with "The problem appears to be related to compatibility between the ELAN fingerprint driver and Windows 11 ... Microsoft has acknowledged this." I lack local permissions to investigate deeper. Sigh. Not plug and play.

Now I con start My laptop with my finger print

My old laptop had a built-in fingerprint reader. I really go used to logging in and carrying out other functions by just touching my finger to it. My new laptop did not have this feature, so I found this little device. Other than the fact it sticks out a little to the side of the laptop, it works great and I love it. Definitely recommend!
