I were planning to make one. But then I found this. Afaik, many apps should be made using html. Btw. I would like to see TOTP mentioned instead of Google/Gauth. But I assume Google something is much cooler than anything else. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_A... - So it's generic TOTP implementation, not Google(only) Authentication app trusting Google infrastructure. Also, there might be local storage security issues with HTML5 apps, but I'm not expert in that field.
- gbraad 14y agoRecently also Dropbox started to use the same TOTP implementation for securing with a two-factor auth. I have used the name G since they wrote the specification and at the time of this implementation, they were the only user. I wrote the application so I would be able to use 2FA on my 'aging' MeeGo phone, the N9. No tools were available and implementing it with web technologies would allow me to port it easily to a desktop environment, an extension, etc.
