LaunchKey - Authorization without parole
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Every day, we visit a huge variety of sites, and most of them we authenticate via login and password ligament. In my head we keep different passwords on different sites, and those that can not remember - write or use any program to store passwords. But how sick of it! Apple in its new iPhone 5S already facilitated our access to their smartphone and purchases in the App Store without the need to enter a password. It is time to rest and catch up and make our lives easier.
Of course, it does not go on to authenticate to the site with the help of the fingers, but progress to simplify entry already exists. Now virtually any website can be accessed through various social networks. You only need to allow access to their profile (which is not always advisable).
LaunchKey developers have gone the other way. Imagine that you go to the site where once again asked to enter a username and password, but instead simply enter one just login and mobile app on your smartphone sends the message that, they say, such a site asks for permission to input. From your device, you confirm that everything is in order, and easy to authenticate. And no need to remember any passwords.
Here again there is a question about security. But it is also all right. The developers have done an interesting feature: the app determines your location and gives login if suspicious. If you went to the site in the same town, and a minute later made a request from another - you will be denied access, because it is impossible to overcome a long distance in a short time.
All data is stored directly in the application, and if you are afraid for their safety, you can ask the secret combination to open it.
Unfortunately, it works on a very small number of sites (unfortunately, the site list I found the developers), but using an API integration of similar features to the website is simplified. We will monitor developments. Who knows, maybe in six months it will be the most convenient and popular way to access the site without a password.
