They already answered on these comments with regards to their already functioning revenue model. Banks pay them for securing their sites. They're a YC startup. You're on HN and you're afraid of trying out new technologies because they're offered by new startups?
- pilif 13y agoNo. I'm not afraid at all. Indeed I have accounts with most of the projects that are being shown off here. Some paid, some just trials. Some I still use, some I don't. However, I'm very cautious with entrusting my phone number or authentication related applications to a startup. That's all I said. I'm not saying nobody should trust them. I'm not saying they aren't trustworthy in general. I just said that I don't trust them with my phone number (or gmail HOTP secret for that matter). Especially in matters of authentication services that require more private information than what's strictly needed leave a bad taste in my mouth.
