The Everykey bracelet remembers your passwords

[ad_1]

After the Nymi bracelet which intends to authenticate the user thanks to their heart rate, it is the turn of the smart health connected bracelet Everykey to offer a security solution. The product currently in campaign on Kickstarter wants to be able to store all your passwords for your internet services (Facebook, Twitter, Gmail…). It's pretty handy for creating unique passwords that are extremely complex to remember. However, if you have the bracelet stolen, the thief will be able to connect to all your online accounts …

The founder of Everykey puts forward three notable advantages over Nymi: first, its Bluetooth solution would be more reliable than biometric authentication. Second, the Everykey bracelet costs only $ 50, compared to $ 79 for Nymi. This price corresponds to early-bird rate on Kickstarter, then it will go up to $ 100 a unit. Lately, the battery. It would have autonomy for up to a month. Another widely questionable point, Everykey would be more design than the Nymi (it also takes the design of the Jawbone UP24 with an unclosed strap).

On the downside, it should be noted that it is mandatory that the device which dialogs with Everykey has Bluetooth 4.0, which is far from being obvious on conventional computers (you will have to think about attaching a dongle for this). Also, for those who have a PC version older than Windows 8.1, it will have to go its way.

Certainly if someone steals your bracelet, he will have access to all accounts but the company gives the possibility for the user to completely deactivate Everykey, a bit like canceling a bank card in case of theft. In short, why buy a bracelet? Simply to have the opportunity to set extremely complex passwords that no hacker could find. How does authentication work? Everykey is able to detect the login and password field on a web page. He will then automatically be able to fill in these fields with your contact details.
