Toronto, Canada and Gothenburg, Sweden – March 18, 2025 – Fingerprints, a global leader in biometric technology, has partnered with Nymi on their latest Nymi Band 4, a water-resistant biometric wristband designed for secure, passwordless authentication in hands-on work environments like pharmaceutical manufacturing, cleanrooms, and industrial facilities.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in biometric authentication solutions by providing a user-friendly Multi-Factor Authentication option for non-office workers who are often sharing terminals or wearing PP in compliance-driven workflows.
A Smarter Authentication Solution for Deskless Workers
Traditional authentication methods—passwords, keycards, and even other biometrics—are inconvenient, insecure, or non-compliant for many deskless workers. The Nymi Band 4 tackles this problem by leveraging Fingerprints' advanced biometric systems to offer a seamless, hands-free experience where workers authenticate once to their band via fingerprint and can access enterprise applications, systems, and IT/OT networks through a contactless tap. By engineering a rugged wristband that securely utilizes biometrics for persistent identity and can withstand demanding work, the Nymi Band 4 enhances regulatory compliance, data integrity, operational efficiency, and worker satisfaction across critical industries.
Key Features of the Nymi Band 4:
-
Biometric Authentication: Utilizes Fingerprints' state-of-the-art fingerprint sensor for quick and reliable user verification.
-
Continuous Authentication: Ensures persistent user identity, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
-
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Combines biometric data with other authentication factors for enhanced security.
-
Enterprise Integration: Compatible with existing enterprise systems and applications, providing a smooth deployment.
-
Enhanced User Experience: Eliminates password entry and prioritizes user privacy.
-
On-Device Controls: Touch-based gestures through the Fingerprints’ sensor, like for labelling and data wiping, provide easy navigation.
