What is the Validity Sensors (WBF) VFS201 Windows Driver?
The Validity Sensors (WBF) VFS201 driver is used for the VFS201 fingerprint sensor, which is often integrated into laptops or other devices for biometric authentication (fingerprint scanning). WBF stands for Windows Biometric Framework, a platform introduced by Microsoft that allows applications and hardware to use biometric data (like fingerprints) for user authentication in a secure and standardized way.
The VFS201 sensor is a fingerprint scanner made by Validity Sensors, which is often used in conjunction with devices that support Windows Hello, Microsoft's biometric authentication feature. The driver allows Windows to recognize and properly interact with the VFS201 sensor, enabling fingerprint enrollment, authentication, and management.
