FIDO U2F is the older protocol. The newer protocol is called FIDO2, which includes FIDO U2F and added a few other stuff for passwordless auth. For 2FA the FIDO U2F is sufficient, but it won't give you passwordless.

Great idea! If you have a laptop with plenty of USB-A ports but no Windows hello devices, this would be ideal. Amazon reviews are 3.9/5.

If your purpose is to unlock a Windows machine quickly and easily then I wanted to throw out an alternative recommendation:

https://play.google.com/store/app...fingerauth

Great find and great price on this post, but after thinking about it and realizing how often I use my phone versus my computer I realized I probably wouldn't use it much except for logging into my computer, hence the above suggestion.

It would go on sale shortly after I buy one... It's been working great though. Stuck it in a port on the side of my monitor so login is nice and easy now.

Fair. For what it's worth though I've been using it for the last several years and never had an issue personally, but to each their own. 😁

Yes. Afaik it will just log you into a specific computer that you have it set up with. Doesn't do anything else.

I use one of these fingerprint unlock on my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (just a Chinese knockoff not this particular one) and found it's super convenience vs entering my password/passcode everytime.
