So the login would have the following workflow: Type in the username on the Yahoo login page and click "login" (without entering a password). You'll get a notification on your smartphone with details about the computer/device where the account access request was made from. If you accept this request, you'll get access to the account on the pc where you want to login. No need to know a password or type in a one time code. Only a username and the (registered) smartphone is enough. Sounds very interesting. -----Original-Nachricht----- Betreff: Re: [WikimediaMobile] Password alternative for mobile Datum: Thu, 29 Oct 2015 12:33:50 +0100 Von: Andre Klapper <aklapper(a)wikimedia.org> An: mobile-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org On Thu, 2015-10-29 at 00:17 -0700, Pine W wrote:> Maybe worth considering as an option for mobile Web and mobile apps?> http://www.komonews.com/news/tech/Yahoos-updated-email-app-aims-to-ki> ll-the-password-333096981.html What is the actual difference to Two-Factor Authentication? andre -- Andre Klapper | Wikimedia Bugwrangler http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ Mobile-l mailing list Mobile-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l _______________________________________________ Mobile-l mailing list Mobile-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l

Sadly it never caught on (presumably because there is no business model behind it, unlike locking the user in to a mobile app or federated login via a provider that then sells the user data). _______________________________________________ Mobile-l mailing list Mobile-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l
