LaunchKey. No Passwords. https://launchkey.com

It's relatively new. You can login to sites that support OpenID or directly support LaunchKey. You could also install a WordPress or Drupal plugin. Most businesses you wouldn't realize you're using LaunchKey though because it would be with their own branding. Also, it's much more enterprise focused for large companies to secure their employees' access while making it easier;safer;cheaper for everyone.

It's a multi-factor authentication platform. The item, application, or website would have to integrate LaunchKey first. The users would be able to login without using passwords with far greater security. The implementer gets the benefit of not having the liability of storing passwords and an enhanced user experience for their users.

This is why everyone needs to use LaunchKey.

If an application wants to offer their users multi-factor authentication with LaunchKey it's free. If the application wants to use it internally for their employees with some of the Pro features or requires forced factors then it starts costing money. Non-profits it's free.

This isn't anonymous login. Facebook still knows what you're logging into. LaunchKey is true anonymous authentication.

The 4-digit PIN is pretty ridiculous, but just a quick look at their SSL Ciphers and their HTTP headers shows they're less than what would be considered best industry practice. Bitcoin-handling sites should exceed industry standards when it comes to security. They also mention when explaining how their vault works that they first receive Bitcoins and then take the computer offline. The computer with the private keys should never be online in the first place.

From looking at their security, they're really going to need that insurance.

You don't need passwords with LaunchKey

Storage: your settings Location: Geo-fencing capabilities if you want to lock to specific geographical coordinates. Your applications information - ??? Bluetooth settings - For device factor if you want to restrict authentication when in Bluetooth range or a paired device. System tools - test access to protected storage - Private keys and information that identify your device need to be protected as best they can be. Your accounts - read Google service configuration - I don't know, is this just some kind of regular permission?

Why can't you download for WP7? http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/launchkey/ebc247...

I suppose I can stretch a bit and see that. Of course if you lose your inkan, you'd probably notice it was missing. If someone gets hold of your password (which may not even be your fault) there's a good chance you won't realize it has been compromised until too late.

I don't understand the Inkan comparison. The Inkan just looks like a unique seal so that someone knows a document is legitimate. That seems more comparable to something like signing with your private key. Care to explain?
