Clef: new iOS and Android apps to kill passwords
blog.clef.ioThis looks like an interesting app for logging in "without passwords" by scanning QR codes using a smart phone and entering a passcode. (I consider a passcode to just be an insecure password, but we'll let that slide for now).
Unfortunately, the app crashes immediately on a 4s with iOS 5.1.1, so I can't test it out. This brings up a concern. If a bad update (like the current one) causes the app to not work with your device, you can not log into anything that uses this for authentication.
I'm sorry that's not working for you morpher! We're looking into this crash right now and we'll have a fix out as soon as possible.
This is kind of brilliant. I'm going to give it a shot!
