Physical security is an important part of laptop security. As well as being aware of the risks and using a good laptop lock, the use of a fingerprint reader can strengthen your physical laptop security measures.

The Hyundai USB Fingerprint Reader is an inexpensive ($25) standalone reader. Available for most Windows computers, the fingerprint reader plugs into the USB drive and requires fingerprint approval to log into Windows. Since a fingerprint is more secure than a password, this provides a secure authentication method.

The reader can be used to prompt login to Windows or to any file or folder and can be used to activate a hidden disk, adding another layer of security.
