Being able to log into your computer using biometric data is ideal. Passwords are so old school these days, not to mention not very secure. I work in Cyber Security professionally, and I would highly recommend everyone invest in a fingerprint scanner or other biometric sign-in device instead of a password to help secure their devices. Very good value and security for the money. That said, once the setup is complete, the fingerprint scanner works flawlessly, allowing me to login to my PC with a quick, light touch from nearly any angle (as long as you move your finger properly during the Windows Hello setup). Granted, it's an easy process for someone with minimal computer knowledge, and a guide is provided in the box, but it is a somewhat unnecessary step that could have been avoided. This device however, requires you to go the manufacturer website and install them manually. Most USB devices are plug-and-play, meaning that once the device is plugged into the computer, it will install the necessary drivers automatically with no extra effort necessary. This fingerprint scanner works very well once setup, but requires a little extra effort to get working. If I ever see these corrected, I will update my review. But yes, it's all legitimate and everything and is making me very happy with my purchase. I understand why customers think it's fake, even I was skeptical when I first unboxed the product. I want to give it a 5-star rating, though due to these miscellaneous problems, I can't. I only wish the seller could get that sorted out and have a more "proper" packaging and better product description on Amazon. My guess is that this is just a reseller with their own branding and a lower price. I could be wrong, but it looks very alike other USB fingerprint scanners I've seen on Amazon, just a different branding. It's in another language with a ton of typos probably has to do with the outsourced manufacturer. The packaging is also very strange, had me confused when I received it in the mail. Like I said, it's really great, just a bit of confusion on the seller's side. Once done, it's honestly almost as fast as an iPhone's fingerprint scanner as far as speedy unlocking goes. A simple Google search explains how to set it up in minutes.
All you need to do is follow basic "Windows Hello" instructions, as it's a built in fingerprint recognition software by Microsoft which is probably already installed onto your device. Some Q&A's say you need to visit this shady website, or have this odd "extension". Unfortunately, it's very confusing at first due to miscommunication on the product page, lacking with confusing instruction on installation. Why pay $60-80 when you can pay no more than $20 for the same, if not better product. Much better price point than all the others for what you're getting as well. I've had this product for less than a day and love it already. If you know how to install, it's much like plug and play.
