verifi P5100 Premium Metal Fingerprint Reader for Windows 7/8/10. by zvetco Biometrics

Reliable and compatible for windows 11 Hello.

I've really liked this product. It's built solid and it feels like it will reliable for years to come. It's also a lot easier to use a fingerprint reader than typing in passwords, or using a password manager.

Works well on Win11 login and lastpass passwordless login.

Amazing, works perfectly with Windows 10 Pro, no more password typing and only takes a couple of seconds. I love it!

This review is for the Verifi P5100 Premium Metal USB Fingerprint Reader for Windows 10. I normally don't write reviews because you get some good and some bad products. No company can be perfect. However I felt impelled to write a review for this product because of the price compared to other fingerprint readers. I can't really rate this product because I never got it to work before sending it back. I purchased this product based on other reviews but mostly on the claims on the item page. It claims to work well and fast, easy install. I tried installing this item on three different computers, Windows 7, Windows 10, and windows 11. I got the same errors on all 3 computers: Your device is having trouble recognizing you. Make sure your sensor is clean. Sorry, something went wrong. Close Windows Hello, and try going through the setup again. Move your finger slightly lower. Move your finger slightly higher. Move your finger slightly to the left. Identical on all computers and operating systems. I am going to need over 100 of these for computer protection and if it is this hard to install on one computer I don't have the time to waste on 100+ computers. This item might work well for some but if it is that sensitive it won't work for my purpose anyway.

Considering the cost of this device, I expected more. This doesn't hold up in comparison to any fingerprint sensor in a laptop or mobile phone. It's slow to recognize fingers, sometimes fails entirely to respond, and is awkward & unreliable to connect to Windows Hello. When I include the complexity of getting the device recognized in Windows at all, having to hunt for drivers, I'm astonished at the low overall quality of the experience for the amount charged.
