CryptoPhoto gives you a fast and safe way to log into your favorite participating web sites while enjoying leading-edge protection against phishing, malware attacks, and scamming.

This app gives you unlimited two-factor security tokens which also include bidirectional authentication. It is the only security device in existence that can protect against both scamming/phising, as well as malware like viruses, trojans, and keyloggers. CryptoPhoto is patent-pending technology.


Usage

After installation, this app will chime each time you use your computer on internet banking or login web pages. To safely complete your login, you simply glance at the app (which opens automatically), and tap the correct corresponding photo displayed on your computer screen.


How it works

CryptoPhoto works by showing you a random photo off your token. This step blocks phishing, hijacks, and most online scams (no place other than the legitimate site can know what photos are on your unique token). You then tap the photo shown in your app, which sends a one-time auth code to proceed. This second step protects you against malware like keyloggers, viruses, and trojans.

In-App purchases

The CryptoPhoto App is free, and most tokens you can use are also free.

CryptoPhoto has the capacity to hold an unlimited number of tokens from different providers. Most tokens are free, but some cost money to install. For paid tokens, you will be clearly informed of the cost prior to purchase (usually 99 cents), and how long your token will last for (usually indefinitely). Some tokens may cost more, and/or may be provided on a subscription basis. Each token will work on only device. If you have multiple different iOS devices (eg: and iPhone and an iPod), you will need to install a separate new token on each one.
For subscription-based tokens, they are normally indefinite, are charged either monthly or yearly. You will be clearly informed of the price and subscription periods prior to purchase. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time (to cancel - visit your Account Settings after purchase and disable auto-renew 24hrs or more before the end of the month). There is no refund for unused tokens or terms after cancelling. Our terms and privacy polices are available at: https://cryptophoto.com/terms-and-policies
Your iTunes account is charged at the time of purchase after you confirm.


Summary

CryptoPhoto introduces a 2-factor token with photographic images that implement bidirectional authentication during user logins. The photos and passcodes which are stored on end-user tokens are known only to the legitimate issuing organization. Because imposters cannot guess the photos it actively prevents victims from being tricked. Because passcodes are one-time used, theyre immune to theft.
