The fingerprint reader seems only available in the domain of laptops and tablets. But that’s certainly not true. With USB connectivity, desktop user can authenticate their identity with a tap of a fingertip. Kensington VeriMark is one of the best peripherals that allow you to do just that.

Unlike fingerprint readers for laptops, VeriMark comes with a 3.4 ft (1.2 m) cable to connect with the USB port while placing the sensor to the area that you are comfortable reaching. The device ensures high performance by enabling 360° readability, 2% FRR, and 0.001% FAR.

It’s natively compatible with Windows Hello and Windows Hello for Business along with further support for FIDO 2F and FIDO2 WebAuthn. This is a much safer and quicker way to authenticate your identity than entering a typical password and PIN.
