Launch HN: Keyri (YC S21) – Secure smartphone-based passwordless authentication
I was immediately intrigued by the proposal, though I can&#x27;t imagine ever wanting to rely on my phone to be identified (what if my battery dies? I left it in another room? hey, a customer is gone and that sale has not gone through).<p>&gt; They also allow users to share their subscription accounts with others, robbing companies of revenue.<p>This made me question your motives: &quot;robbing&quot; is a very strong statement for something like sharing accounts — even if you are in that extortionist camp that likes to get every last cent out of the customer, I wouldn&#x27;t advertise it as widely.<p>Why do you feel that companies should be worried about people sharing accounts with people they have enough trust in to share accounts (and devices like your phone) with?<p>It&#x27;s also the first time I read that OpenID requires somebody else to see your private keys, or to share any private data that you do not wish to share: can you elaborate on that?
