Product Information
From the manufacturer
Windows ARM-based computers are currently not supported. Please check back for future updates on compatibility
*Cross-platform compatibility for macOS and ChromeOS is supported via our Tap-and-Go feature. For a complete list of authentication services visit VeriMark support site.
**For biometric support on macOS and Chrome OS, users must first configure Security Key sign-in for Microsoft Services and Dropbox login authentication. Without this configuration, the security key
will still work as a Tap-and-Go solution but will not support biometric authentication.
***Tap-and-Go combines a username and password with second-factor security key authentication to enable extra security on non FIDO2 services. For services using the older FIDO U2F standard, the
user places their finger on the VeriMark Guard for a security token experience (instead of using biometric authentication). See a complete list of services on the VeriMark support site.

FAQ
Q: Is it necessary to install driver before using?
A: A driver is necessary for VeriMark, VeriMark IT and VeriMark Desktop for Windows 10 and 11. 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.
