Thank you for your feedback. We certainly seem to disagree about the security of passwords in general.
With that said, our system supports far more than a possession factor. LaunchKey has a Pin and/or Digital Combo lock (your secret) on the app level for a knowledge factor and Geo-fencing available for an inherent factor. Combine these factors with possession and you have a very secure system. Reliable bio-metric factors could certainly be implemented in the future as well.
As you said Passwords are painful, especially when we don't know them any more and pass them off to a third party application. The explosion of Password Managers such as your own indicate that users are expected to carry the burden. There has to be a better experience and solution for consumers and systems alike.
- jayfuerstenberg 13y agoWell, possession might work better if it were a chip you'd implant in your body. Then at least it wouldn't be prone to theft. You'd just need to convince people to implant something in their bodies. In any case, you're free to your opinions and the market is the ultimate decider of what floats and what sinks. Good luck to you and your project!
- tux1968 13y agoPresumably you'll know if your phone has gone missing and can then deactivate it as an authentication token long before someone could combine it with guessing your PIN. There has been a secure token business operating for years without a major problem due to token loss. Migration to using your phone instead of a separate token is a natural transition and doesn't change the fundamentals much.
