This Electronic Wristband Uses Your Heartbeat to Replace Passwords for Devices

It’s a sentimental confirmation –  technology can recognize you by your own, unique heartbeat. At least, that’s the pitch for this tiny, wristband called Nymi that can replace all the password typing you do in a day. It’s discreet, but is it safe? Given that Apple’s fingerprint identification technology was hacked almost immediately on its release, will this little bracelet be the next target?

 The Nymi uses your unique electrocardiogram (ECG) to authenticate your identity through an embedded sensor.
