Suggestions for Fingerprint Reader
I'm looking for a new fingerprint reader, and would like some suggestions or recommendations...
I have 3 old APC Biopods, and they used to work really really well. Alas, they haven't been supported since Windows XP and so they are sitting in a drawer. I have searched long and hard for updated drivers to no avail.
I've bought 3 different "swipe" style readers, and have been disappointed with all of them. Too many rejections! It doesn't help that my fingers are often dirty or scuffed up, but the Biopods were relatively tolerant of that.
So I think what I want is one of the "touch" style readers, similar to the Biopod, where you just press your finger on the window for a moment.
I am very much on a budget, so I've been looking at used ones on eBay. But I suspect that a lot of the older, cheaper ones do not work with Windows Hello, and a great deal of googling has failed to turn up a compatibility list or even if specific models work.
So I am looking for recommendations from people that have them. My requirements are:
1) Works with Windows Hello.
2) Touch style (as opposed to swipe).
3) Available used, cheap, on eBay.
Some of the ones I've been looking at are:
Targus PA460
UPEK TouchChip TCRU1C
SecuGen Hamster Plus HSDU03M
Digital Persona UareU 4500 (50013-001-103)
Thanks in advance!
