As far as I understand you don't need to type in your password. 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 <[email protected]> An: [email protected] 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 [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l _______________________________________________ Mobile-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l
