                       a.  a portable body member;                                                                                   
                       b.  a biometric interface unit engaged with said body member;                                                 
                       c.  a non-volatile memory mounted to said body member;                                                        
                       d.  biometric circuitry for generating and storing in said non-volatile memory an                             
               initialized biometric template upon presentment of the person’s unique biometric parameter to                         
               said biometric interface unit, and generating a second biometric template upon subsequent                             
               presentment of the person’s unique biometric parameter to said biometric interface unit;                              
                       e.  compare circuitry for enabling said device only if said second biometric template is                      
               substantially identical to said initialized biometric template;                                                       
                       f.  a data storage source;                                                                                    
                       g.  user interface and communication componentry for permitting said individual to store                      
               in said data storage source a plurality of indicia each one of which is representative of a secured                   
               site; and                                                                                                             
                       h.  password circuitry for generating a plurality of passwords, wherein each of said                          
               plurality of passwords is uniquely associated with a respective one of said plurality of indicia in                   
               sequence.                                                                                                             
                       45.  A device for use by an authorized individual to obtain information for use in                            
               accessing a secured site, the device comprising:                                                                      
                       a.  a portable body member;                                                                                   
                       b.  a data storage source contained in said body member;                                                      
                       c.  user interface and communication componentry for permitting said individual to store in                   
               said data storage source a plurality of indicia each one of which is representative of a secured site; and            



                                                                 2
