Manually Installing the VeriMark™ Driver

In most instances, the driver for VeriMark™ will automatically install when VeriMark™ is connected to a USB-A port on your computer. If for some reason the driver does not install upon VeriMark™ being connected to your computer (VeriMark™ is shown as “Unknown Device” within Device Manager), you can manually install the driver.

Verimark™ FAQs

  • 1. What is U2F?
  • 2. I have a customer who wants to deploy VeriMark™, but their organization does not allow automatic software updates via Windows. Can they use VeriMark™?
  • 3. How do I remove the VeriMark™ or VeriMark™ IT fingerprint data in Windows OS?
  • 4. Which web services support FIDO U2F login?
  • 5. Can the same VeriMark™ be used with multiple computers?
  • 6. My laptop already includes a fingerprint scanner, why do I need VeriMark™?
  • 7. My device has built-in facial recognition as part of Windows Hello, why should I use VeriMark™?
  • 8. Are ARM based processors supported?
1. What is U2F?
    1. U2F is a term from the FIDO alliance that stands for “Universal 2nd Factor.” It is an open authentication standard that enables keychain devices, mobile phones, and other devices to securely access any number of web-based services. For more information, see U2F – FIDO Universal 2nd Factor.
2. I have a customer who wants to deploy VeriMark™, but their organization does not allow automatic software updates via Windows. Can they use VeriMark™?
    1. Yes, the user can download drivers from our support website for Windows operating systems: https://www.kensington.com/software/verimark-setup/ 
3. How do I remove the VeriMark™ or VeriMark™ IT fingerprint data in Windows OS?
    1. Win 7 and 8.1: You may use the Kensington fingerprint application to remove the fingerprint data. The application is bundled with the fingerprint driver. You can download the driver/application here: https://www.kensington.com/software/VeriMark-setup/VeriMark-windows-7-8.1-setup/   
    2. Win 10: Go to Windows 10/11 sign-in options, select Windows Hello Fingerprint, then select Remove. Please note that you must use the same PC used for  fingerprint enrolment to remove the fingerprint. If you registered your fingerprint through multiple PCs, you must remove it from each PC.
4. Which web services support FIDO U2F login?
    1. There are various web services that support FIDO U2F second-factor authentication login, including Google, Facebook, Dropbox, Github, Salesforce, and Twitter. To learn more, please follow our support page setup instructions.
5. Can the same VeriMark™ be used with multiple computers?
    1. Yes, VeriMark™ uses Match-on-Host technology; it can be used with multiple computers, but the user must complete the fingerprint registration on each new device.
    2. VeriMark™ IT uses Match-in-Sensor technology; it can be used on any Windows 10/11 computer. The fingerprint registration does not need to be completed for each device because the fingerprint data is stored and encrypted on the dongle, but you will need to add the account to the machine first or use Windows Hello for Business in Azure.
6. My laptop already includes a fingerprint scanner, why do I need VeriMark™?
    1. Depending on the age and specifications of the laptop, the embedded fingerprint reader may not be as secure and reliable as VeriMark™ (Swipe sensor versus Area sensor) for Windows Hello authentication.
    2. If the laptop is new and has a good quality fingerprint reader, this reader may only be accessible when the device is open. VeriMark™ can be used even when the laptop is closed (if connecting to external monitors with a dock/hub).
    3. VeriMark™ offers U2F functionality, which built-in fingerprint readers do not, and VeriMark™ IT offers FIDO2 support for many web services.
7. My device has built-in facial recognition as part of Windows Hello, why should I use VeriMark™?
    1. Facial recognition is not as secure and not as reliable as VeriMark™.
    2. The FRR & FAR are better when using VeriMark™ fingerprint sensors.
    3. VeriMark™ offers faster, more secure, and overall more reliable authentication.
8. Are ARM based processors supported?
ARM based processors may have limited functionality
