Add a physical authentication factor to secure-access workflows with biometric fingerprint verification and a USB-C connection. The Cisco K49 security key places the credential in the user’s possession while adding fingerprint-based verification when the key is presented. This form factor suits organizations that need a compact hardware authenticator for users accessing protected systems from USB-C-equipped devices. USB-C is the defining host interface for this key. Confirm that the endpoint intended to use the key has an accessible USB-C port and that its identity platform accepts the authentication method configured for the deployment. The fingerprint-enabled design helps distinguish the person presenting the device from a user relying only on a typed credential, while the physical key remains part of the access process. FEIT-BIOPASS-K49 identifies the biometric fingerprint-enabled USB-C key supplied under the Cisco brand. Its distinguishing characteristics are the combination of a hardware security-key form factor, biometric fingerprint capability, and direct USB-C connectivity. Use it where a USB-C-connected physical authenticator is required for secure access, rather than where a cable, NFC token, software-only credential, or non-biometric key is needed.
