Best Answer

A fingerprint USB drive operates same way as a fingerprint lock on a laptop. In order to access the contents of the drive the finger needs to be placed on the drive. It is considered a next-level type of security for files when transporting or transferring them but if you have a device malfunction or something happens to the face of the reader (scratches or marring) there is a good chance the information will need to be extracted by a professional.
