Nymi: Your Heartbeat is your New Password Nymi is a wristband that promises to replace all your passwords by matching the overall shape of the user´s heartwave (captured via electrocardiogram sensor) Unlike other biotech authentication methods - like fingerprint scanning and facial recognition tech - the system doesn´t require the user to authenticate every time they want to unlock something. To authenticate via Nymi, the user puts the wristband on with one sensor facing their wrist, and then touches a top sensor with their other hand. This completes an electrical loop, and generates the data required for the device to work. This data is then transmitted via Bluetooth to an app installed on the user computer or smartphone, to verify the wearer is who they say they are. Nymi also includes the use of an accelerometer and gyroscope so that the user can program gesture unlocking and even use it as an activity tracker. The Nymi device has a battery that last around a week per charge. getnymi/
