Im not sure about the advantage of an implant vs wearing a ring in these cases. Anyone care to enlighten me?

  You can't give your implant to someone else very easily.

    Is the implementation well vetted? I sort of default to expecting implementation flaws and eventual cloning.

      This isn't new tech - RFID is an extremely common and well vetted implementation for physical security. This only replaces the fobs you have to carry with you (usually key fob or credit card sized fob) with a microscopic one under your skin. Every single office I've ever worked at (5) use RFID keys for facility access. Some RFID implementations are vulnerable to cloning and other attacks (brute force, IIRC). There isn't any information about the implementation given here other than "RFID" and some implementations are much more secure than others. There's attack demonstrations on some RFID access implementations on YouTube - some more viable than others.

  You can steal or forget a ring, and rings can be uncomfortable for some people.

  A key fob (a current implementation) is a better than a ring. You probably already have to have your keys to leave the house (lock door, start car) so it's not another thing to remember. Key fobs are a single standard size and keyfobs don't get tight when you get pregnant or fat. Key fobs aren't uncomfortable, don't give you allergic retractions, and aren't a potential safety hazard like rings are for many "hands on" jobs, and also don't impact hand hygiene. The benefits of an implant are you, can't forget your implant, you can't lose it, it can't be stolen, and you can't give it to someone else. You also (probably?) can't break an implant.
