FAQ
Q: Is it necessary to install driver before using?
A: A driver is necessary for VeriMark for Windows 10. User can either manually install by downloading the latest driver from our support page and following the step instructions or using the Windows Optional driver install from Synaptics. VeriMark Guard is a plug and play dongle and no drivers are needed.
Q: Where can I download the driver that I need?
A: Drivers can be downloaded from our official site support page: kensington.com/software/verimark-setup/ by selecting the device and following the installation instructions.
Q: What's the difference between manual and optional driver?
A:
- Manual driver is for advanced users or hosts managed by an organization that don’t have Windows Updates rights due to limitations on the Windows policies. Also, some users might want to use manual driver install to either upgrade to latest driver or for troubleshooting purposes.
- Optional drivers are managed by Windows Updates. The VeriMark drivers are marked as optional drivers for any unknown device connected to the host. Make sure Windows is up to date, running the latest release for optional drivers to become available.
Q: What should I do if VeriMark couldn't recognize my device? (Unknown device issue)
A: Unknown device issue is simply a unrecognized peripheral connected to the host. In order to fix this issue the user has to install the drivers for VeriMark using one of the methods explained on the support page.
Q: How to solve error code 10 issue?
A: Error 10 is generated when Device Manager can't start the hardware device, usually caused by outdated or corrupted drivers. Reinstalling the latest drivers may solve the issue.

Seeing how cheap this was compared to other hardware I was hesitant, but Kensington is a brand I trust so I took the leap. It installed the needed drivers in Windows 11 Pro immediately on insertion and within two minutes I had it programmed and working for Windows Hello login, Microsoft 365, and OneDrive Personal Drive. Kensington pulled through.
I am using it in the USB 2.0 port on the left side of the laptop and when it’s ready to read, it engages the blue light letting you know it’s ready to scan, then turns off as soon as the biometrics pass.
It works quickly, even with 2.0 (lower power, why I chose it), and the driver it uses from Windows works well. I didn’t even get a hit for a second/better driver with Iobit DriverBooster Pro, so I am pleased Kensington delivered.
It came rattling in the box, which I very much disliked, but it’s a solid component that works well. I recommend. I can’t speak for its longevity, yet, but I will if anything negative happens. No news is good news. Cheers!
Setup was confusing because things weren't working after installing the driver. Turns out you needed to reboot after driver install in order to get things to work. I do worry over Windows 11 support for this older product. Fingers crossed for future support.
So I waited a couple months to see if they had worked it out... nothing. So I opened a ticket on 12/17. Got a surprisingly quick reply that indicated the device works on Windows 11 and to follow the manual device installation. Well that didn't work. So I wrote back indicating after several tries, still wouldn't work. They replied again quickly on 12/20/21:
"We regret for the inconvenience with Verimark Fingerprint key on Windows 11. We would like to inform you that we will escalate this issue to appropriate department and once we got an update we will get back to you.
We appreciate your time and patience."
Now on 12/31, I get another update:
" We have not heard from you concerning your request for support in the last 14 days since we sent you a response. Consequently, we have changed the status of your request to SOLVED." - with further instructions to re-open the ticket...
And of course the "we are testing message" is still on their site as mentioned above.
Given built-in finger print readers work with Windows 11, this seems to be a ridiculous scenario with Kensington. But if true, avoid Kensington Verimark Fingerprint reader until they get their driver figured out. If in fact you have it working on Windows 11, feel free to let me know... I like pins as much as the next guy, but as always I prefer to give me windows machines the finger! :)
However, set up was not fun, to say the least. Not to sound like a loser, but I'm a computer science major, so when I say it wasn't easy, it wasn't easy. I did all of the basic stuff like installing the drivers and making sure it was plugged into the board directly. Their directions for installing the drivers are actually really good. My main issue was that Windows Hello was not working. I kept getting the message: "This option is currently unavailable." First thing I checked was if biometrics was enabled. If you are having issues, this is probably why. Go to the local group policy editor and allow the use of biometrics. This still didn't fix my issue with Windows Hello. I made my way to the event viewer, where I found out that the VeriMark was actually working, as it was posting events under biometrics. So it wasn't a hardware issue. After browsing random forums for a while, I found a Reddit thread about WHfB not allowing biometrics. Turns out, I had to enable biometrics not only under the biometrics section, but under WHfB. I assume that because my OS is Win11 Pro, WHfB is used, which means I had to go back the to local group policy editor and disable certificate use for authentication, and enable biometrics.
Based on other reviews, it seems this is a niche case, but if you are having similar issues, try what I said.

O grande problema é que não é mais compatível com a versão mais nova do Windows. Daí simplesmente não consegui usar.
I've tried the device on windows 11
used on a laptop and desktop windows10 machine. both fully updated. response is super fast, really no complaints.
