Biometric devices are most commonly used for network logins, which could mean a huge number of users of varying competence levels. If a device is hard to use, the FRR will reflect that. Consider devices that include guides to help the user place a finger in the right spot or look in the correct direction. Another option, depending on the sensitivity of the material being accessed, is to use passwords, smartcards and other means of authentication in place of your biometric device if it fails. This will, at the very least, counter those helpdesk calls asking, "How do I make this thing work?"
