Authenticator is an app that allows you to log in to websites using your phone securely. It has two parts - a browser extension and a smartphone app. When you want to log in to a website, the extension will display a QR code which your phone will scan. Then the phone sends the login details directly to the browser using strong End-to-End encryption (ECDSA+AES256). You don't have to log in to the extesnion - you can be using someone else's computer without fear. Keylogers and shoulder-surfing onlookers will be thwarted.

Another planned feature, which we didn't have time to implement at this short hackathon, will be to add friends. You can share an account with someone without revealing the password to them. We see this feature being very useful for enterprise users.

Our code for both the Adroid app and the Chrome extension are available on github. The extension works for any website with a password and username box.
