Pulse security

Did anyone else see on TV the new security wrist band for use with a smart phone. It uses your pulse to sign in to pay for, at the moment,up to £20. They propose to role it out for your bank account if the trial works. What happens to us AF ers? Are we more difficult to get hacked or do we loose control of our accounts? Perhaps on a bad day we can empty someone else's account. Accidental of course.
