I love the concept of this, but I'm out of the use case for the time being (Windows / Linux user). The other key annoyance is that none of my desktop computers have bluetooth, because I built them for gaming, not wireless peripherals.
That being said, you probably already thought about using a centralized server or other methods of communication. Either it'll kill battery, or require some intermediary server - which would probably need two-factor authentication to authenticate.
Though, overall, I love this idea a lot more than backing up my Google Authenticator app with Titanium Backup and restoring it each time I change phones/ROMs.
- dspillett 13y ago> none of my desktop computers have bluetooth USB based bluetooth dongles are dirt cheap, so this should not be an expensive or otherwise overly inconvenient issue to resolve.
- blakeshall 13y agoI think he is saying that it isn't worth it/ too inconvenient to go out and get a bluetooth dongle just for this app.
- fiskfiskfisk 13y agoCould be a possible way of branding / selling "The Authy Solution". A small BT dongle and a year of pre-paid subscription in a bundle.
