Passwords, Touch ID, and Face ID could all be a thing of the past, as Apple is working on a future where unlocking your devices is as easy as just holding a future iPhone or letting your Apple Watch sense your unique heart rhythm.
While Apple’s patent shows a future iPhone for ECG measuring, the Apple Watch already measures ECG.

Everyone’s heart has a unique rhythm, which the Apple Watch monitors through the ECG app. In a recently granted patent, Apple describes a technique for identifying users based on their unique cardiovascular measurements.
With this technology, you can unlock all your devices if you keep wearing your Apple Watch. Verifying your heart patterns instead of a password or a fingerprint scan increases security and speeds up your identification.
