TNP Nano USB C Fingerprint Reader for Windows 10/11 Hello - USB Type C Security Key Biometric Scanner Sensor Dongle Module for Instant Access, Password-Free Login, Sign-in, Lock, Unlock PC & Laptops

I like that its usb c because my new laptop doesnt have usb a ports on the side. I updated windows and it uses ELAN finger print driver from 7/1/2022 driver version 3.10.12001.10501. It works with windows 11. The only thing is it sticks out a little father than I wanted but its not a big deal. I can use windows hello with it.

I have tried everything I can think of to get the device to install. It will appear in the device manager with the yellow triangle. Updating the driver says it is the most current version. I tried downloading drivers from Dell for fingerprint reader. None work. Windows 11 on a Dell Latitude 7420.I can find absolutely nothing online for this device to try to get support. I will most likely be returning it.

This would've been an AMAZING peripheral! Nifty idea. I tried it on several of my computers and, unfortunately, it would not work.

I was looking to add a USB-C Fingerprint Sensor to my laptop so that I could restore my Windows Hello authentication on my docked/closed-lid laptop. The biggest thing I've been missing is the ability to login quickly and with ease.My thought, originally, was to put it in place and restore the functionality so that I could start logging in to the PC, my password manager, etc., without having to type everything in each time. My company's IT Policy allows Windows Hello, which works with the managed password manager we use. Fitting into that compliance, while adding the ability to use Windows Hello with the lid closed was exactly what I wanted.This nano USB-C fingerprint reader does exactly what I wanted.That said, it did take some adjusting to get used to. The adapter is a little awkward -- The USB-A adapters I've used in the past have the sensor as the full 'face'. This one uses about 2/3rds of the face. This has, a few times, lead to me wondering why it wasn't working, only to realize that it was me not touching the right spot.Once I got used to the adjustment it hasn't been an issue -- maybe once every few weeks, but it was an awkward start.I'm using this with a USB-C extension cable on my second USB-C port on my Zbook, with the cable zip-tied to keep the adapter in the same spot (if I had a USB-C dock port available, it'd be in it). It works for now.Overall, other than the face being smaller than expected, it's been a great find. And I'd probably order it again if I needed it.
