It doesn't seem easy to me to steal a ring from someone's finger.
Do you wear a ring? I ask because I used to think similarly, but now that I've worn a ring for a couple of years, I find them incredibly easy to remove.
Admittedly, some might wear smaller and tighter rings, but I think the good ol' twist & pull works in a lot of cases.
- NateDad 14y agoThe real question is, how hard is it for someone to steal your ring without you knowing? Because that's the only part that's important. As long as you know it's stolen, you can go in and deactivate it before the thief can do any real damage. (There's usually a backup authentication measure, like a password text messaged to your phone that'll let you log in to deactivate the key).

- jtheory 14y agoI think the idea of using a ring for this purpose is that you never need remove it. It would have to be pretty durable, of course, but then you'd basically leave it on while swimming, sleeping, etc. (like the standard approach to a wedding band). Having it work by proximity makes me a bit more uneasy, though -- I imagine someone brushing by your hand in the subway and authenticating with your bank then & there.
