If you’re using Windows 10 (most of us are, because Microsoft forces us to), chances are you’ve heard of their new biometric logins. It’s a convenient little feature – but it requires special hardware for Windows Hello, or a fingerprint sensor for easy login. That changes today with the brand new PQI My Lockey.
The PQI My Lockey brings about one single idea – fingerprint scanning for easy and convenient security. It’s a USB-based fingerprint scanner too, and it’s no bigger than your typical wireless mouse receiver.
According to PQI, there are a few takeaway points regarding the My Lockey:
- Designed for the latest Windows 10 operating system
Couple Microsoft Windows Hello biometric with PQI Fingerprint USB Dongle, follow the Accounts’ Sign-in option prompts for fingerprint password setup and you’re on your way to secure your personal data and never having to remember complex passwords, ever!
- No. 1 in fingerprint ID, your personal gold-key, access within 0.15 seconds
Swift, accurate and responsive! In the blink of an eye (within 0.15 seconds), it accurately identifies the biometric ID on the sensor. Compare to typing the password, it only requires 1/3 of the time to access your personal data.
- Breath-sensing, precision algorithm, virtually impossible to duplicate
My Lockey features AI biological detection, breath-sensing and high precision algorithm to detect forged fingerprints, making your data safer and harder for high-tech forgers to access!
- Detectable in 360 degrees, anyone of your fingers will do
Using capacitive touch technology, it is more accurate and responsive than traditional optics. Use any of your fingertips, left or right hand, you can use it as your security pass to safeguard your personal data.
- Setup up to 10 fingerprint IDs
You may setup to 10 fingerprint IDs and for every fingerprint ID account, one can setup multiple fingerprints as IDs. On a public access computer (office, bank, school, etc.), the account data shown will be determined by the fingerprint ID so personal data can only be accessed by you, avoiding personal data accessed by others.
- Certified by Fast Identity Online (FIDO) Alliance
The Fast IDentity Online (FIDO) Alliance is an industry consortium that started back in February 2013. Its’ main purpose is to address the lack of interoperability among strong authentication devices and problems users face when creating and having to remember multiple usernames and passwords. It also resolves malicious trojan programs from obtaining your password. So whether it is ecommerce, online payments, software / hardware system integrators or traditional PKI token certification, PQI Fingerprint USB Dongle is FIDO certified, it is platform / system interoperable and meets modern digital data safety needs.
Say, are you interested in getting one of these goldkey for your own system? Be it a laptop or desktop – I think gadgets like PQI My Lockey is a very handy little addition to us all.
