Kensington Fingerprint USB Dongle

Kensington Fingerprint USB Dongle

Fingerprint sensors are now a common thing. Most of the mobiles devices have built-in fingerprint sensor for unlocking the device.

If you are gaming on a laptop or you have a laptop other than your gaming PC then Kensington fingerprint device is surely a great thing to have because only a few laptops comes with built-in fingerprint sensor.

This little dongle looks just like a usual Bluetooth receiver for your mouse and connects via USB after a quick installation process it is ready to go. It works extremely fast with a 0.15 second recognition time.

You can add up to 10 fingerprints for your family, friends or colleagues at work. This device is not only for unlocking the device but you can also lock and unlock files or folders and protect any personal data you want.

I have tested this on my device and its a cool concept but not fully matured. I had difficulties putting protection on some of the applications. I hope future updates will resolve these issues.
