Show HN: Byepass – Eliminating Passwords
Hi there!<p>This seems like an interesting concept. Signing into your app via the link in the email does a good job of showing the concept of what you&#x27;re working on. Your app also has a nice look-and-feel to it.<p>Couple of thoughts&#x2F;questions for you:<p>1) Once I was logged into your app, it was unclear to me what my next step was... I saw &quot;New App&quot; under &quot;Developers&quot;, but I wasn&#x27;t sure what I was supposed to do there.<p>2) Is your app meant for the end user or website&#x2F;app creators? Who benefits from using your service? I&#x27;m a website&#x2F;app creator and I don&#x27;t know why I would want to outsource the one thing that makes my users feel secure when coming to our app?<p>3) While forgetting a password is massively annoying, there is a small sense of &quot;security&quot; I feel in that I had to type something in to access a website<p>4) With the proliferation of services like LastPass and 1Password, how are you going to go about convincing users that are using those services? (these services do a pretty good job of removing much of the pain of having to remember a password)<p>5) Seems like SSO via FB, Google, GitHub and the like are pretty convenient to users already -- is there a benefit&#x2F;upside that your service provides that these SSO services don&#x27;t?<p>It seems like this would be something where you&#x27;d need a large number of companies to have buy-in to what you&#x27;re doing in order to add your form to their website. It seems like you&#x27;d need to have some hook there to get critical mass of widely-used websites to adopt your sign in&#x2F;sign up form.<p>Look forward to hearing your thoughts and seeing where your service goes from here!
