Review: NOT READER, it’s a usb smartcard with fingersensor in addition to pin. - This is not a windows hello reader. The fingerprint scanner is fused to chip so unlikely to spoof and is used as alternative to on-device-stored pin-code (can be any symbols and long, same as password) to unlock certificate on device. Use of fingerprints is optional, can be used with pin-code only. Works with Google ID, Apple ID, Microsoft Cloud Account, Technically is should be able to work for Windows login, but not as a part of Hello, due to this is NOT a biometric device, but an actual certificate smart-card. Review: he device does not work on Windows - The device does not work on Windows. It's not recognized in any way on any computer. I've tried on four different computers and it doesn't work on any of them, nor on Google Chrome. I contacted support, they were very kind and sent me a replacement for free. The replacement also doesn't work and has the exact same problem. I do not recommend buying this device. It's better to look for another option on the market. Unfortunately, I bought this brand because of its reputation and the advertisement, which they should change, as all the information is incorrect. They shouldn't offer it for sale for Windows devices. I haven't tried a Mac yet, but I've seen comments that it doesn't work on them either. ## Features - FIDO2 and FIDO U2F certified USB-A security key and fingerprint reader provides password-less and biometric single-factor, two factor, and multi-factor authentication; compatible with Windows, macOS, and Chrome.
