As far as I know, QR-TAN is being used in Germany for authentication by a number of banks.

Not only that, Google's OpenSesame did the exact same thing and worked for all Google users until they pulled it after it "went public". So then they pulled it, told us something better was coming and nearly two years later, nothing.

drivebyacct2 - your account has been dead for about 100 days and 200 posts, basically no one can seen your messages unless they have showdead on. Here's the "offending" post that you were banned for https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5982741 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5982741 (hint - the ban is completely unjustified)

    didn't see that, but even so, this is still a horrible punishment

    Dan is right. I assumed that was why I was hellbanned and I was clearly behaving poorly in that thread. Fortunately, since they brilliantly combined a hellban with a slowban, I knew immediately. I'm not really sure why I keep posting - figured I goofed [that thread is embarrassing] and I'd feel dumb groveling to have an account unbanned when people create one-off troll accounts everyday here. Though it is frustrating when I see entire threads go on about bits of technology and then my comment is the only one pointing out some super relevant related tech. Oh well.
