Automatically Unlock Websites When Your iPhone is Nearby [Video]

Posted June 21, 2012 at 7:42pm by iClarified
Ford has developed a Chrome Extension that automatically logs you into websites when your iPhone is nearby, reports fastcodesign.com.

Ford Keyfree is a Chrome extension that stores passwords for Facebook, Google, and Twitter. Then, whenever you're near your Mac using a pre-approved smartphone, the app can "unlock" these sites automatically via Bluetooth. Your phone serves as your ID, thanks to the unique identifiers already in Bluetooth.

The extension is said to work on Mac OS X computers with Google Chrome and Bluetooth mobile devices. It appears that Ford had launched the app on its France site but has since pulled it.
