"Faster and safer than typing a password. Just Knock."
- trebor 13y agoI tend to leave my phone on my desk. And that goes for both at home and at work. (I don't use 2-factor authentication, so I'm not terribly worried.) All that means is someone has to walk up to my desk, knock on my phone, and steal my passwords. Hmm, I'm not thinking so. I think I'll stick with entering a password!
- cbhl 13y agoHow does the Mac authenticate a phone with Knock? Does it use HMAC-based One-Time Passwords (HOTPs) like Google Authenticator?
- Ulver 13y agoThat looks terribly inconvenient. Especially the part with me deliberately knocking on my rather expensive smartphone.
- mLewisLogic 13y agoJust installed it. It works great. As somebody that always has their phone in their pocket, this is perfect and more than worth the $4.
