Microsoft has put up product pages for two new Surface accessories - the Modern Keyboard and the Modern Mouse.

For the new Modern Keyboard, the company has built a fingerprint reader right into the keyboard, similar to Apple's offering on the Macbook Pro. The fingerprint scanner looks like any other key, is located between Alt and Ctrl keys on the keyboard, and gives users a new way to log into their Surface devices.

The built-in fingerprint scanner is just one of many ways users can log into their devices. Microsoft also currently offers a tool called Windows Hello, which allows users to log in with facial, iris, or fingerprint recognition.
