No pricing structure?

  It's an early developer preview right now. Pricing will come, but we're looking for feedback on what makes the most sense.

Since this looks like something people can try out and give feedback on, we added "Show HN" to the title for you. This is the local convention. Will take it out if you prefer.
karlhills 11y ago
Sure, thanks.

Can't anyone guess the MMS picture. Out of 5 options there is a probability of choosing the right one.

  We are in the process of adding more images and expanding the list of options. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm sure someone's emailed about it, but the button says 'comfirm' instead of 'confirm' for (at least) the sms and mms options.
- YogeeKnows 11y ago
  Yeah I noticed that too.

  My proofreading sucks. Thanks for catching that.

What's the likelihood of supporting disposable 6-digit codes a la Google Authenticator or Authy? It would be kind of neat to be able to implement this sort of thing without having to request any contact info at all (sites that require phone numbers are annoying, and there's only one email-based option AFAICT); just provide a QR code and tell the user to scan it with their 2FA app of choice, or (optionally) fall back to requesting a destination for verification codes (i.e. for those who don't have smartphones but do have email addresses or SMS-capable dumphones).

  Not every language has drop-in support for 2FA, but Python/Django has a pip package: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-two-factor-auth https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-two-factor-auth

Couldn't get an SMS on trying login (India)
- karlhills 11y ago
  Where did the process stop? Did you receive a confirmation code? Thanks for the feedback.
  - captn3m0 11y ago
    Still waiting for an SMS.

        No. Curiously enough, thats the second time someone asked me that today online (https://www.reddit.com/r/india/comments/33glky/coai_spamming_via_sms_for_anti_netneutrality/cqkonne https://www.reddit.com/r/india/comments/33glky/coai_spamming...)

I played with SMS, SMS reply, and MMS. All worked well and as expected (I used a Google-Voice account for testing). Probably one of the easiest out-of-band login solutions I've used. For SMS a "link-or-reply" feature would be nice. Depending on the particular use-case it might be easier for me to press a link in the message versus typing something. Also perhaps eventually an app (swiping notification is enough to complete login)

  Thanks for the feedback. The SMS link option is one that's definitely on the roadmap for the product.
