Cool implementation. Were you inspired by the Google 2-factor approach to log in to Goog websites that was pulled?

As others said, I'd love to see an android version. However, before I use it for my important Web service accounts, I'd like the ability to encrypt my passwords both on the phone app and the browser plugin with a key known only to me so I don't have to trust your service with my cleartext passwords.

I was working on this when google tested that feature. I actually started the project as a 2 factor authentication system but scaled it back to this version of the initial release at least. There's a chicken/egg problem with getting websites to adopt without needing the browser plugin.

I like your password idea, its a nice feature. I'll add it to my idea list. Thanks for the feedback!
