The driver for Mac will not work, says it can not be verified as virus free and the packaging arrived contaminated. It smelled like jet fuel, horrible!

I bought 2 as a backup, but none worked with Windows 11 23H2. No driver is available and it's detected and just normal USB fido not fingerprint. So it's not a faulty device - but a product itself. Windows Hello will not work and when trying to register to outlook -> it loops between PIN/fingerprint and error. So can't use at all.

You can no longer use this on macOS. It requires software that is no longer certified on Mac. So if this is a work PC or you are not comfortable enabling this via developer mode this will not work for you.I contacted support who promptly told me they couldn't help with "software issues" and that someone would call me back, that never happened. After some research I've found that this thing just doesn't work. Sadly returning it.

So I have an older version of this fingerprint reader I've been using for 3yrs on my desktop machine - it works flawlessly but doesn't support Passkey storage function. This is advertised as supporting Passkeys and in fact does support them - however, it can NOT be used for Windows Hello Login or Authentication.In simple terms, you can't login to windows with it or use it for anything other than a ubi-key type passkey device. so you'd need the older one to login to windows AND this one if you wanted that functionality.Absolutley worthless IMHO.

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.

After many hours of troubleshooting, I've managed to make the key detectable by windows as a security key and register a fingerprint. Unfortunaly, everytime I try to login with it, I get an error that something is wrong with my security key. Other than that, it looks great, but it is useless as it is.

El lector de huellas es compacto y agradable esteticamente. Lamentablemente funciona a medias en el sistema operativo Windows 11. Ya que descague los archivos de la página oficial, un software que te facilita el ingreso de una contraseña y tus huellas dactilares. Sin embargo esto no garantiza que funcione la aplicación de Windows Hello y así puedas desbloquear el equipo como en versiones anteriores de este lector de huellas con Windows 10. Posiblemente con una actualización de Windows este inconveniente se solucione pero hay que esperar a que esto ocurra. Tambíen sería genial que la empresa subiera un driver que ayudara a que el equipo reconociera el lector de huellas ya que no aparece en los dispositivos conectados como debería un escaner de huellas dactilares. Pero bueno tal vez sea funcional en otras versiones de Windows así como de Mac. Por eso mi calificación es neutral.

Bought this (Guard Version) hoping I could use my Intel Based Mac Book Pro (provided by work) with an External USB Keyboard (with USB Ports), Mouse and two monitors. with the aim of having the MBP lid closed while I work.The Docs and marketing blurb, clearly state it works with MacOS, cross platform.But I needed fingerprint auth for my 1Password and other authentication challenges on the Mac.Thing is the MacBookPro already has a Fingerprint reader on the laptop keyboard. (Which is now closed)My hope was that using an external USB Keyboard with USB 3.x pass through i would somehow be able to use the Kensington Key (with its software) to act as the fingerprint service on the Mac.This is clearly not the case, as I try this out and how locked MacOS is around security I can't see it working with out using some sort of MDM / Endpoint Management software, which you don't get at home.So on MacOS (Monterey)Point 1. this seems to require a USB 3.1 (Blue) port to work.Initially i had a USB 2.0 Port (On my official Apple USBC dongle) on my Mac and it would not read although it registered in the App as device present.So feedback 1. In your app do a check for type of port the device is on and advise user if its on incorrect port.Switching to a USB 3.x port and the App was apple to register my finger print.But all i have is now registered my fingerprint, the MacOS knows nothing of the device to use that for fingerprint authentication over the inbuilt service.All other apps built for MacOS OoTB have option to use FingerID (like 1password), but this is a proprietary service for the MacOS which assumes use of their fingerprint hardware, not some 3rd party.Point 2: I cannot see how this will work (right now) with MacOS for home users, it may work if you use MDM Endpoint enrolment whereby you bypass the default authentication with this app / device.Possibly the new Silicon based Macs will support this in future but even the OS does not expose '3rd party biometric authentication, right now AKAIK.Point 3: There is nothing in MacOS that allows you to setup fingerprint login, unless you use its own FingerPrint Reader on the Laptop Keyboard or if you have a new Silicon Based Mac their new Keyboard with fingerprint reader.It's a bold statement to say cross OS, when clearly there are requisites for this to work on MacOS.Which I may add do not seem to be called out in the product packaging.Point 4: I am going to test this on Windows 11, which I may add I expect will work because their OS is designed in such a way today to support lots of different hardware config. The MacOS by design is not.

This device is a great idea and definitely got my attention. However the shipping was horrible and took too long to become available. In addition the device did not work on most devices. The USB C technology being used with fingerprinting had to come equipped on your device prior for this to work. It does not operate like the traditional USB fingerprint readers which I have now gone back to. This technology will be great when they get it right but I would wait a few generations so you are not frustrated and disappointed as I was. Finally, I took multiple steps as given on the website, downloaded drivers, and other add ons per instructions and nothing worked. The hardest part is for the price this should be a plug and play and it is not. Definitely not with the time, money, or frustration at this time.Update: I reached out directly to Kensington and per their customer support this device does not support Windows despite the logo being advertised in the images here under the sell item.
