These bio stamps, developed by Massachusetts-based engineering firm MC10, contain flexible electronic circuits that are attached to the wearer's skin using a rubber stamp. The device could then be used to confirm the owner's identity and log them in to accounts automatically.  This would prevent thieves and other people from being able to access a phone, or individual apps on the device, if it is stolen or lost.  If you are not there….
