Say Goodbye To Passwords And Use "Vidoop "

What Company Is Offering:
Vidoop Secure is an innovative new login technology that eliminates passwords and is effective against prevalent forms of hacking, without any additional hardware requirement.

Vidoop Secure achieves this with a two-factor system including both a “soft token” (What you have) and the Vidoop image grid, which uses your secret image categories (What you know) to draw your eye to a one-time random access code.

With myVidoop, , your identity is secure.
With unrivaled security, customization, and browser integration features, myVidoop is leading the way into the new world of online identity. myVidoop not only provides web single sign-on using the OpenID protocol but can also manage your identities all across the web, even at sites that don't support single sign-on.

How It Works:

Vidoop Secure is a software-only, multi-factor user login technology based on categorized images. When a user enrolls, he chooses image categories from a bank of possible image content (such as airplanes, cars, or keys). This constitutes the shared secret. Then, upon proof of receipt of an access code transmitted out-of-band by e-mail or phone, the user's computer is activated with a software token.

At the time of login, if the token is found, the Vidoop Dynamic Image Grid, which includes pictures belonging to the user's chosen categories, is displayed. The user selects the images by typing the random letter shown with the image, forming a one-time access code.

The Vidoop Secure system can withhold the image grid after a configurable number of failed logins.
