This is cool!
A few weeks ago I found out about Bloomberg BUnit 4[0] (I was looking at their keyboards and got distracted).
I think we need something similar for consumers (as in, I don't want to end up spending 24k for a terminal just for a BUnit).
Basically it's a device that has a light sensor, a fingerprint reader and a code generator - all used to authenticate the user to Bloomberg services.
The closest I've gotten is using something like Trezor[1] or Ledger S Nano[2] (no fingerprint reader/light sensor - but it's protected via a passcode).
It's just one more level of protection on top of a hardware key (username + password + hardware key (protected by a password))
