Use your Phone to Login to your Computer.
GateKeeper Trident is a smartphone application that turns your phone into your software authenticator token that allows you to access and secure your computer and web passwords without the inconvenience of memorizing and typing passwords. It pairs your phone to the GateKeeper desktop application and can lock/unlock your computers and websites based on your phone's (soft token) proximity.
