SideTouch

BIO-key’s SideTouch is a high-quality, compact, USB fingerprint scanner that was developed to provide customers and organizations with an affordable option to address their hardware requirements when integrating fingerprint biometric authentication to their login processes to enhance security while improving workflow by replacing slower, less secure sign-on methods.

Additionally, BIO-key’s SideTouch is one of the only scanner devices on the market today to pass Microsoft’s rigorous accuracy and security testing qualification process allowing it to proudly bear the Microsoft Hello-Ready mark.
