# Fingerprint Password Protectors Secure Your Personal Information with myIDkey Identity Cards By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-03-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/identity-cards References: [kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/myidkey/myidkey-passwords-at-the-tip-of-your-finger) & [myidkey](http://myidkey.com/) Not just another memory stick, the myIDkey keeps all of your highly personal information in one place, with technology that far surpasses normal identity cards. Fingerprint-activated, this USB card manages any and all passwords, including sensitive information such as banking codes and alarm activation codes. Increasingly, we are presented with more and more passwords and numbers that we must somehow memorize because if we write them down, their security becomes compromised. Having all of these [passwords stored within one small device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secret-scribble), with voice-activation and [fingerprint security implements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-fingerprint-padlock), would be incredibly useful and convenient. If lost or stolen, the myIDkey identity cards will self-erase all of the [personal data stored on them](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/in-my-pocket) to prevent others from gaining access to that information. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Biometric Password Protection:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced biometric technology that combines fingerprint and voice activation for enhanced password security in personal devices and identity cards. - **Password Management Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create efficient and secure password management systems that store all personal passwords in one device, ensuring convenience and protection against potential data breaches. - **Self-erasing Storage Devices:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design self-erasing storage solutions that automatically delete personal data when lost or stolen, preventing unauthorized access and safeguarding sensitive information. ### Where This Applies - **Technology Security:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop cutting-edge security measures, such as biometric authentication and self-erasing storage, to protect personal information from potential data breaches and theft. - **Personal Data Storage:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Improve password management systems and storage devices to provide individuals with convenient and secure solutions for storing and accessing their personal information. - **Identity Protection:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative solutions, like biometric identity cards, that offer enhanced protection and convenience for managing sensitive personal data, such as passwords and banking codes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Physical Password Security Keys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cryptnox-fido-card.md) - [Offline Password Manager Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atlancube-passwordpocket.md) - [Biometric Password Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1password-passkey.md) - [Dedicated Encryption Storage Keys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexar-jumpdrive-fingerprint-f35-pro.md) - [Data-Protecting USB Keys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nukii.md) - [Physical Multi-Factor Security Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feitian-multipass-k32.md) - [Biometric Sensor Password Authentication](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passkey.md) - [Biometric Bank-Grade Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/securam-touch.md) - [Connected E-Paper ID Badges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-id-card.md)
