1. If the cable is not long enough to reach the computer, is it okay to use a USB extender?

VeriMark™Desktop has a 3.9 ft/1.2m cable. In case the cable is not long enough, you may use a USB extender cable to increase the cable length, or connect it to USB peripherals such as monitors or docking stations.

2. Which technologies is VeriMark™ Desktop compatible with?

VeriMark™Desktop is FIDO U2F Certified, and FIDO2 WebAuthn compatible, making it a great authentication device for Windows Hello as well as single-factor- (passwordless), dual-, multi-factor-, or Tap-and-Go authentication on other online services and software.

3. What is Tap-and-Go technology?

Tap-and-Go combines a username and password with second-factor security key authentication, to enable extra security on non-FIDO2 services. For services leveraging the older FIDO U2F standard (Facebook, Shopify, Google Services, OKTA, and others), instead of using biometric authentication, the user can simply place their finger on the VeriMark™ Desktop fingerprint reader to enable a security token experience.

4. What is the benefit of Match-in-Sensor versus Match-on-Host technology?

Match-in-Sensor technology can be used on any Windows 10/11 computer. The fingerprint template is isolated from the host computer and OS, and the authenticator only transfers a ‘pass/fail’ match token to services and the OS for authentication.

5. Can VeriMark™ Desktop be used on any Windows 10/11 device?

Yes, as long as the host computer is running Windows 10/11 and the VeriMark™ Desktop drivers are installed.

6. How many fingerprints does VeriMark™ Desktop support?

It supports up to 10 fingerprints, which is the limitation of Windows Hello. Each fingerprint can be enrolled as a different user profile.
