An app to let people log in to two factor auth sites.

mahemoff commented 10 years ago

More detail? Is this an app for other developers to hook into, how would it work?

stuartlangridge commented 10 years ago

Not for others to hook into. This is a generator for one-time login codes, a la https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1066447?hl=en. https://github.com/stuartlangridge/javascript-hotp-html5-app is an existing implementation; the code generation should be fine for any hotp two-factor system, but the wording in the app is aimed at those using it for Ubuntu services specifically, so that'd need changing.

Have to watch this one, don't want to accidentally lose a users stored data if local storage gets wiped... Perhaps g+ auth and saved to google drive app storage?

stuartlangridge commented 10 years ago

Why? A native app doesn't back this stuff up in the cloud. Also, I am extremely leery of (a) the amount of extra effort this is and (b) storing my auth credentials on someone else's computer!
