TL;DR: As of October 18, get this mini smart fingerprint padlock for $24.99 — or get two for $47.99.


Chances are, you've already grown accustomed to opening your smartphone and other electronics with your fingerprints or facial recognition. Why not enjoy the same technology with your bike, cabinets, and bags? Memorizing a passcode on a numeric padlock is old news, and using a traditional lock and key can be a hassle.

There aren't any padlocks that can effectively unlock using facial recognition just yet, but you can upgrade your security with this mini smart fingerprint padlock. It's a portable lock engineered with high-tech sensor technology, enabling effortless unlocking with a touch of your finger. It's on sale for 28% off, just in time for your holiday travel. If you're already thinking about holiday gifting, you can also grab a 2-pack at a 31% discount, no coupon needed.

This tiny lock lets you do away with password combinations, making unlocking quicker and easier. Thanks to the state-of-the-art sensors, it only takes one second to unlock. It can save up to 10 fingerprints with the memory function, and it can unlock approximately 1,000 times on a single charge. When it runs low on battery, it flashes a red light continuously for six seconds after unlocking, so you know when to top up. Recharging is also pretty easy; you can do it with a micro USB, which is included in the package.

See how it works:

The Mini Smart padlock is crafted out of zinc alloy, meaning it's resistant to prying or crushing and is made to last. Whether you're installing the lock on a room, gate, office, bicycle, backpack, suitcase, and more.
