Title: Can BTS be used for website authentication?
Post by: 70231f697a2b3c2b on December 21, 2014, 07:04:11 pm
While looking for updates on Keyhotee (and ultimately, a compelling alternative to gpgAuth (https://gpgauth.org/)), I came across this post (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=1433.msg149082#msg149082):

Secure mail and IDs will be built into Bitshares.

Is BTS at a point where somebody could build a website and/or browser plugin that uses BTS for website authentication?

IIRC the Bitshares DNS will do this and get rid of man in the middle attacks.

http://cryptosmith.info (http://cryptosmith.info) also uses BitShares login, so you can try it out there even if you don't want to buy precious metals.

It's awesome not to need more passwords.
