Windows 10: Small usb fingerprint readers for Win Hello

Hi, I was wondering if there are any small USB fingerprint readers for windows hello. I've looked at the list on amazon, I still feel they are too bulky, like too outward sticking as I would like to carry the reader with my laptop since my laptop doesn't have either Win hello or fingerprint reader. I know this is probably a shot in the dark but are there any the size of like one of those mouse receivers? Like those are so much smaller. Thank you all so much!

On USB Fingerprint readers - a few questions

Hello.

I've just ordered a USB fingerprint reader that is compatible with Windows 10. I am planning to set up Windows Hello with it on my laptop.

I have 2 questions however:

1) If I set up the fingerprints, they are stored inside the fingerprint reader,according to the description.

So, if i reinstall Windows in the future and want to set up Windows Hello again, do I just plug in the USB fingerprint reader

and all the original settings will be imported? Or will i need to set it up from scratch again?

2) If I try the usb fingerprint reader on another laptop (let's say it also has windows 10 on it), will Windows load my fingerprint(s) from the reader or will it not see any of them?

Basically, how secure are (generally) my fingerprints stored (more like a general overview, I am aware that it depends on the product and model, but I am trying to make an idea if they have similar work principles).

Windows Hello not available with Digital Persona Fingerprint Reader

I think writing in community comes to an end. Long time written that Digital Persona UrU 4500 fingerprint reader supported by Windows Hello or not. Got lot of suggestions and followed. Recently Microsoft has changed the compatibility portal with it's own
products. There is no place for other brands. Previously this fingerprint reader showed in the same portal as a windows 10 compatible device. Recently I am on Insider Preview Build 10565 from stable Build 10240. But this major issue not fixed after following
all necessary steps.
I think Lock Screen is related with Hello. Defaults pictures & Windows Spotlight Pictures showing & changing fine. But no lock screen with pictures coming after hitting lock button or win+L. Only as usual password or PIN lock screen coming. I don't know
these two problem will fix or not.
1. DISM.exe result fine.
2. sfc/scannow is OK. etc.
