Pros

Moneywise is a good alternative to yubikey and other brands. It appears to be fairly sensitive and reads my fingers well. Has bright blue led on top that lights up when it's waiting for your finger.

There are a couple issues to be aware of first if your device had ever been compromised make doubly sure to clean up your devices as i've found any compromised device can allow them endless access to every device through uninformed consent attacks. Th...  Read More

Most of the time, the key can be used automatically if it is just plugged into the computer. I also have it plugged in to a uni usb port with a 4 foot cord, with the intent to mount it underneath. It is very portable.



Cons

Tried resetting several times. The scanner head is too small to get an accurate scan on the first attempt. The device feels somewhat flimsy and cheaply made.

Quality


I have used it every day for several months now with no degradation of the scan ability or the physical scanning device itself.


Works perfectly, easy set up and makes logging in so easy!


This tiny usb wonder lets me press my finger, and bam – i’m in!


After the scan fails 3 times, you'll be prompted to enter your original pin to access your computer.

Price


Got a great deal on a second life item from amazon.


And i bought it on sale so value is high.


But still a little bit expensive for what it is.

Packaging/appearance


The kensington verimark fingerprint key arrives with a protective plastic cover (not shown) hiding the metal contacts of this usb device.

Competitiveness


Quite reliable in comparison to its competitors.
