Store Your Personal and Security Information On Your Wrist?
Passwords, Passwords, Passwords! Brain can’t store your personal and security information anymore? There are plenty of password manager applications you can use online to help you log into email accounts or websites. You may forget your Gmail login or how to login to pay the water bill online. Programs such as Dashlane, LastPass or RoboForm make it easy to store your personal and security information. Each password manager can start upon turning on your computer, so you never have to miss a login on your desktop or laptop, but what about the working professional on the go? Bionym has a more innovative way to store your personal and security information in the Nymi, a wristband password manager.
The Nymi is a small security wristband that stores all of your passwords through Bluetooth technology. It does more than your average password manager assistant. What makes this device so unique is how it recognizes you. Nymi recognizes you based upon your heart’s distinguished cardiac rhythm. Now that’s a real password authentication. Your heartbeat is your own and no one else can match it. This gives your exact identity to the Nymi at all times. You can sync Nymi to your smartphone or tablet. You can create smart passwords and stay key-free when working because the Nymi gives you access as long as you wear it. Think about the times you we’re out of the office handling business but couldn’t access valuable information. You may have tried from your smartphone or tablet but you could open for a meeting with a client.
Not just for personal computing devices, the Nymi can also help with other security access such as unlocking a car that has a key code on the door. A simple wave of the hand can get you in and behind the wheel. No more locking the keys inside and calling locksmith. It can even replace the pin number to your credit card without breaching security or privacy. You can program your Nymi to fit your password protected applications.
Since the Nymi is not officially in stores yet, you can only pre-order one for now. The release will happen mid-year sometime. What do you think about this new technology? Do you trust a simple wristband to hold the passwords to your personal information? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
