Claim:
An information handling system comprising: a memory configured to store a first electrocardiogram measurement; and a detector circuit in communication with the memory, the detector circuit configured to receive an initial electrocardiogram measurement to be set as user access information for the information handling system, to remove the initial electrocardiogram measurement in response to a cancel request from the user, to store the initial electrocardiogram measurement as the first electrocardiogram measurement in response to a save request from the user, to receive a second electrocardiogram measurement in response to a specific combination of keys of a keyboard being pressed for a specific period of time, wherein each key in the specific combination of keys includes an electrocardiogram sensor on a top surface of the key, to authorize a user and log the user onto the information handling system when the second electrocardiogram measurement matches the first electrocardiogram measurement, and otherwise: to deny access to the information handling system; to increase a counter; to determine whether the counter has exceeded a threshold; and to request different authentication information via an input window when the counter has exceeded the threshold.
