Open Sesame!

Yesterday, Google made the Sesame function very interesting in my opinion - to log into your Google account using a QR code. This innovation allows you to safely log into your account if you are using a public computer and are afraid of keyloggers.

1. Go to https://accounts.google.com/sesame
2. Scan the QR code on the screen, leave the tab open
3. In the phone, enter our username and password
4. Choose whether you want to log in to Gmail or iGoogle
5. The tab with QR is updated and you are already inside your account.

Works in Android, iOS and Windows Phone 7
This feature has not yet been officially presented.

PS Unfortunately, the experiment has already been closed (habraeffekt?)

Hi there - thanks for your phone-based login experiment.
Where are we?

Stay tuned for something even better!
