Abstract: A system, apparatus, method, and computer program product for generating and using stored shards of passwords on multiple native biometric sensors is disclosed. This invention takes each password, encrypts the password using a key from a biometric sensor, converts the encrypted key, and splits it into a user-definable number of parts, or shards. Shards can then distribute to multiple devices and then only unlock the password (or other form of a secret) if many shards are present. The invention changes a password manager from a potential security threat to a convenience.
