myIDkey: A Voice-Activated And Fingerprint Secure USB Drive Protecting Passwords And Data

With all the devices and accounts we use everyday, everyone has to resort to multiple login credentials, and it’s hard to remember them all. Writing the password down on a piece of paper is not secure, nor is keeping them in a text file in a computer. There is password storage software like LastPass, but you have to remember a password to get in to that app too. Sometimes we even forget the password for that app. But wouldn’t that be great if a simple slide of a finger be enough to access all our personal codes and information? Yes, you heard me right. It’s called myIDkey; it is a voice-activated, fingerprint secure Bluetooth/USB Drive that displays passwords and personal info online and on the go.
