Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BIO-key International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Company” or “BIO-key”) and are stated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The operating results for interim periods are
not
necessarily indicative of results that
may
be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, consisting only of those of a recurring nature, and disclosures to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The balance sheet at
September 30, 2019
was derived from the audited financial statements, but does
not
include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10
-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2018,
filed with the SEC on
April 1, 2019. 
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]
Leases
 
In
February 2016,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
2016
-
02,
“Leases” (Topic
842
), as amended (ASC
842
).  The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than
12
months and classify as either operating or finance leases.  We adopted this standard effective
January 1, 2019
using the modified retrospective approach for all leases entered into before the effective date.  Adoption of the ASC
842
had a significant effect on our balance sheet resulting in increased non-current assets and increased current and non-current liabilities.  There was
no
impact to retained earnings upon adoption of the new standard. We did
not
have any finance leases (formerly referred to as capital leases prior to the adoption of ASC
842
), therefore there was
no
change in accounting treatment required.  For comparability purposes, the Company will continue to comply with the previous disclosure requirements in accordance with the existing lease guidance and prior periods are
not
restated.
 
The Company elected the package of practical expedients as permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us: (
1
) to carry forward the historical lease classification; (
2
)
not
to reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; and, (
3
)
not
to reassess the treatment of initial direct costs for existing leases.
 
In accordance with ASC
842,
at the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present and the classification of the lease including whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset, and whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset. Leases with a term greater than
one
year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use (ROU) assets, lease liabilities and, if applicable, long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected
not
to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of
one
year or less under practical expedient in paragraph ASC
842
-
20
-
25
-
2.
For contracts with lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected
not
to allocate the contract consideration and to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
 
Lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The implicit rate within our operating leases are generally
not
determinable and, therefore, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate requires judgment. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate for each lease using our estimated borrowing rate, adjusted for various factors including level of collateralization, term and currency to align with the terms of the lease. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease prepayments, offset by lease incentives.
 
An option to extend the lease is considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option. An option to terminate is considered unless it is reasonably certain we will
not
exercise the option.
 
For periods prior to the adoption of ASC
842,
the Company recorded rent expense based on the term of the related lease. The expense recognition for operating leases under ASC
842
is substantially consistent with prior guidance. As a result, there are
no
significant differences in our results of operations presented.
 
The impact of the adoption of ASC
842
on the balance sheet was:

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
  
In
August 2018,
the FASB issued ASU
No.
2018
-
15,
 Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract
 
(“ASU
2018
-
15”
). ASU
2018
-
15
aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The update to the standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2019,
with early adoption permitted. Entities can choose to adopt the ASU
2018
-
15
prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU
2018
-
15
will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In
June 2016,
the FASB issued ASU
2016
-
13,
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic
326
), referred to herein as ASU
2016
-
13,
which significantly changes how entities will account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are
not
measured at fair value through net income. ASU
2016
-
13
replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected credit loss model that requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on most financial assets and certain other instruments. Under ASU
2016
-
13
credit impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses, rather than as a direct write-down of the amortized cost basis of a financial asset. The impairment allowance is a valuation account deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. Once the new pronouncement is adopted by the Company, the allowance for credit losses must be adjusted for management’s current estimate at each reporting date. The new guidance provides
no
threshold for recognition of impairment allowance. Therefore, entities must also measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. For instance, trade receivables that are either current or
not
yet due
may
not
require an allowance reserve under currently generally accepted accounting principles, but under the new standard, the Company will have to estimate an allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables under ASU
2016
-
13.
ASU
2016
-
13
is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after
December 15, 2019.
Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU
2016
-
13
will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Management does
not
believe that any other recently issued, but
not
yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Reclassification
 
Reclassifications occurred to certain prior year amounts in order to conform to the current year classifications including segregating the hardware revenues. The reclassifications have
no
effect on the reported net loss.
