How do you log in to a mobile site if you have to use your phone to scan the code?
- donmcronald 13y agoA mirror and a front facing camera :-)
- jensenbox 13y agoWouldn't you need at least 2 mirrors to correct the image?
- cjp 13y agoA front facing camera already flips the image so that the user sees what they usually see when they look in a mirror. So one mirror would end up being right. Except when you open the camera app, the mobile site is no longer displaying the QR code.
- teleclimber 13y agoI assume that in addition to the QR code there would be a link that would trigger an intent to open the authentication app with the necessary data. At least on Android that's how it could work.
- chj 13y agoA minor problem is that auth app has to return back to the browser with a new link which the browser may not be able to open within the original login tab.
- teleclimber 13y agoI don't think that is the case. After the auth app communicates with the server you just need to click the login button on the original page. I don't think the auth app needs to load a specific url.
- Groxx 13y agoCurrently: heh, good point. Future: bookmarklet / plugin / browser support that detects the code on the page.
