Various aspects directed towards a wearable identity manager system are disclosed. In a first aspect an association status between a user and a wearable identity manager device is ascertained based on whether the wearable identity manager device is worn by the user and motion data associated with a movement of the wearable identity manager device is monitored. Authentication data which includes the motion data is then transmitted based on the association status. In another aspect an association status between a user and a wearable identity manager device is again determined based on whether the wearable identity manager device is worn by the user. Here however the wearable identity manager device is paired with a pairing device and authentication data is transmitted to the pairing device based on the association status to facilitate a user authentication via the pairing device.
