Are there any alternatives to QR code?

How secure is Google's new QR code based security mechanism?

  • http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/Google-Tests-QR-Code-Login-from-iPhones-Android-Smartphones-631546/ Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) has wrapped up its hush-hush testing of a new authentication feature that lets users log into their Google accountsby scanning QR codes from Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone or handsets based on theAndroid operating system. The feature allows users to log into their Google accounts from computers that aren't their own. Google set up this "Open Sesame" destination, https://accounts.google.com/sesame, from their computer to see a QR code for a special URL generated by Google. Users could then fire up their QR reader app—such as the Google Goggles visual search application, QR Reader for iPhone or Barcode Scanner for Android—scan the QR code on their phone and type their Google account username and password. This scan will prompt users to access their Gmail account or iGoogle homepage,launching either automatically on the desktop's browser, according to PCWorld, which discovered the test via Google+ user/programmer Walter Chang.

  • Answer:

    This feature is taken away by google. Hope it will be back, or maybe a better modified version will be provided.
