Customer Reviews

Rating: - Microsoft Fingerprint Reader from Electronix4Sale supplier
The unit is not accurate at all. It fails from time to time. I have been requesting to return the unit back to the shipper: Electronix4Sale and THEY DO NOT REPLY to me. It seems after they performed the sale they are NOT interested in satisfying their customers. I have sent several mails and no reply and they have NOT established a RETURN POLICY. Becareful.

Rating: - Excellent and convenient.
This device isn't intended to secure your system or data. If it were a "serious" device it would not let the fingerprint persist on the scanner. But Microsoft doesn't claim it as a security device. It is intended to make log in to systems faster and easier. I use it to log in to XP, Quicken, and my brokerage accounts through the web logon for each. Inexpensive, accurate and easy to use.
Rating: - Hard to customize
I dont know what is going with this hardware, but in the CD there are not drivers to use.You have to purchase the drivers in another place. Why sell a device without driver?
