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.
