Biometric USB Dongle for Windows Hello

The Adesso AFP-100 is a compact fingerprint reader that plugs into any USB port and works with Windows Hello for password-free sign-in. It is built for government offices, schools and businesses that require TAA-compliant hardware. The device supports FIDO U2F two-factor authentication for an extra layer of account security.

Low-Power Operation with Hardware Encryption

The reader draws power directly from the USB bus and adds virtually no load to the system. Your fingerprint data never leaves the sensor because matching happens inside the chip with AES-256 encryption protecting the stored templates. Anti-spoofing checks run on every scan without audible noise or heat buildup.

Consistent 360-Degree Recognition Under Load

Match-in-Sensor technology reads a finger at any angle and returns a result in 0.05 seconds even during repeated authentications. The false acceptance rate stays below 1/100000 and the false rejection rate below 1.8% across long sessions. Performance does not degrade when multiple users enroll or verify in quick succession.

Questions about this item

How do I install the AFP-100 fingerprint reader on my Windows PC, and what step is often missed?

Plug the USB dongle into a port on your Windows 7, 8, 10 or 11 device; Windows Hello will detect it automatically. The step people miss is completing the Windows Hello fingerprint enrolment in Settings before expecting one-touch sign-in.

What maintenance or replacement will the AFP-100 need over time?

The reader has no moving parts or consumable components, so it requires no scheduled maintenance. If the USB connector or sensor surface becomes damaged, the entire unit would be replaced rather than repaired.

What limit appears first when the AFP-100 is used continuously for many logins?

The sensor is rated for a false acceptance rate below 1/100000 and a false rejection rate under 1.8%, so the first practical limit under sustained use is the occasional rejected fingerprint requiring a second touch.
