Kensington FIDO U2F and FID02 USB-A Security Key and Fingerprint Reader - Windows, macOs, Chrome

*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 Windows Hello 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.
