In a smartphone, the normal security about unlocking is very low: PINs have only few chars. Gesture provides low security as well.

 

The problem is that people can't use a typable password: if the phone is locked and a call is incoming, user needs to digit the password to answer the call.

 

An interesting solution I tested successfully: NFC Ring. http://nfcring.com/

 

Note that it requires a smartphone with NFC reader.

 

The ring stores two NFC: in one of them I put a long password that I use to unlock my phone, just with a touch of the ring behind the phone. The other NFC tag can contain, for example, a bitcoin address.

Nice gadget which costs 40€. My size is sold out, though..

I order my ring three months ago, received some days ago.

Ah, well, that's the reason. Do you know if they are going to make more of these?

That's too risky for me. In my opinion, NFC is not the most secure thing to lock doors with electronically. But it's enough to lock a smartphone.

 

By the way, how is the ring? Is it laggy or does it unlock fast? Oh, and is it waterproof?

I bought the NFC ring when it was on Kickstarter.  I had a Samsung Galaxy S3 and it was nothing but trouble.  Never was worth the hassle to use the ring. Tha
