The creators of innovative fingerprint scanning product and software, inkID, offer pre-order opportunity for consumers via crowdfunding initiative, Kickstarter, as of May 14th, 2015 through June 2015.
The never-ending struggle to manage online passwords just became easier. Founders of Authensure, Boyd Mark and Jeff Lammers, have developed the inkID™ biometric password manager www.myinkID.com. The small and easy-to-use biometric fingerprint device and innovative software replace passwords using a person’s unique fingerprint as the key. inkID’s specialized software works in concert with the biometric reader to securely maintain passwords and access the end user’s online accounts. Starting May 14th, consumers can click here to back the project and pre-order their inkID password manager on Kickstarter.com, an online crowdfunding platform.
Be Your Own Password
inkID is the fastest and most secure way to access your web accounts. Password manager applications typically require the consumer to type a master password. If that master password is lost or stolen, the consumer’s entire online identity is at risk. Using your fingerprint as a master password makes that scenario virtually impossible. inkID stores all information on the end user’s computer with military grade encryption. Fingerprint information is stored as binary code and there is never an image taken. inkID does not upload any information to the cloud or the internet.
With a projected retail price of $49, and offered at $39 on Kickstarter, the inkID USB fingerprint reader and software will be the most affordable biometric solution on the market. Authensure’s first production run of inkID readers is complete and the Kickstarter crowd sourcing campaign will fund the final phase of inkID software development. Quantities of the initial inkID biometric readers are limited, however, Kickstarter supporters will have the first opportunity to own the product before it hits the mass market.
“Everyone understands that traditional passwords are ultimately not scalable or secure in today’s hyper-connected world,” said inkID founder Boyd Mark. “The emergence of fast, easy and secure biometrics is clearly the answer.” Jeff Lammers added, “inkID makes security an affordable reality for anyone using a laptop or desktop computer. Using your fingerprint as a master password – you can be your own password.”
