You can open this lock with an app installed in your smartphone. The lock made by a company called 'August' essentially allows you and anyone you register to open your door with an app.

Your friends, family, or even the plumber could download the app, you could give them a code, and they get in, CBS Local reported. You can even have that code expire, meaning they will only be able to access the door for a limited time.

When you put your information in any computer device that is connected to the internet then you're talking about the entire world potentially accessing that thing,' security expert Silka Gonzalez was quoted as saying.
