Hello jfbilletts,

Thanks for your message and question about a fingerprint reader. I don't have any specific recommendations as we typically use the readers built into our work devices, but any reader that supports Windows Hello/Linux should work just fine to unlock 1Password!

I'll include guides below for both OS's below:
* Use Windows Hello to unlock 1Password on your Windows PC
* Use system authentication to unlock 1Password on your Linux computer

Once you've installed a reader, please let us know if you have any further troubles with those guides and getting things set up!
