BeamU is Your New Biometric Key For Safe Online Access

In the digital age, security online does not just mean a strong password. If you are really serious about online security, you should be using techniques like two-factor authentication (2FA). Many people don’t use that because it’s inconvenient.

BeamU wants to change that. The new credit card-sized BeamU is designed to make it as easy as possible to be secure online. BeamU is raising funds on Kickstarter for the project.

BeamU is an all-in-one offline storage vault, secure online login device, and Bluetooth tracker that comes in a convenient credit card size form factor.

With the size and shape of a credit card, BeamU secures and authenticates data and passwords using Fingerprint Card AB’s unique T-shape™ fingerprint sensor. It comes with features such as FIDO 2nd factor authentication, password manager, secure flash drive storage, and tracking of valuables such as your wallet and phone using Bluetooth LE. 

BeamU can communicate with other BeamU devices, mobile phones, and computers via Bluetooth LE, USB, and NFC. 

Stressing about forgotten passwords? BeamU allows you to generate and save secure passwords and credentials, protecting you against dictionary attacks on websites that don’t support U2F. Once saved, you’ll always be able to view them on the e-Ink display.

Having difficulty tracking your mobile phone? BeamU can ring your phone if it’s nearby. Or you can use your mobile phone to locate your BeamU.
