michael@14 47 <h3 style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">What is a One Time Password?</h3>
michael@14 48 <p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.25em;">A One Time Password (OTP) is a password valid only for a <strong>single use</strong> and, once used, cannot be used again for authentication. OTPs avoid a number of shortcomings that are associated with traditional (static) passwords.</p>
michael@14 49 </div>
michael@14 50 <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d">
michael@14 51 <h3>What can I do with this app?</h3>
michael@14 52 <p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.25em;">This application serves one purpose only. It calculates and prints a OTP.</p>
michael@14 53 </div>
michael@14 54 <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d">
michael@14 55 <h3>What can I do with OTPs?</h3>
michael@14 56 <p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.25em;">Most people use OTPs to log in to their website administration, CMS, or remote console.</p>
michael@14 57 </div>
michael@14 58 <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d">
michael@14 59 <h3>Can I log into my Google account?</h3>
michael@14 60 <p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.25em;">No. Google uses OTPs, but in a slightly nonstandard way. OTPWCalc cannot calculate OTPs useful for Google authentication yet.</p>
michael@14 61 </div>
michael@14 62 <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d">
michael@14 63 <h3>Can I log in to Win/OSX/Oracle?</h3>
michael@14 64 <p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.25em;">Yes, but some work is needed on the Windows/OSX/Oracle computer to configure the authentication subsystem.</p>
michael@14 65 </div>
michael@14 66 <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d">
michael@14 67 <h3>Can I log in to Unix/Linux?</h3>
michael@14 68 <p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.25em;">Yes, by using PAM and it's quite easy.</p>
michael@14 69 </div>
michael@14 70 <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d">
michael@14 71 <h3>What else can I do with it?</h3>
michael@14 72 <ol style="margin-top: 0.5em;">

michael@14 87 <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d">
michael@14 88 <h3>Can I install OTPWCalc on &hellip;?</h3>
michael@14 89 <ul style="margin-top: 0.5em;">
michael@14 90 <li>FirefoxOS: <strong>Yes</strong></li>
michael@14 91 <li>Sailfish: No</li>
michael@14 92 <li>Android: No</li>
michael@14 93 <li>Tizen: <strong>Yes</strong></li>
michael@14 94 <li>MeeGo: No</li>
michael@14 95 <li>Bada: No</li>
michael@14 96 <li>iOS: No</li>
michael@14 97 <li>Unix: No</li>
michael@14 98 <li>Linux: No</li>
michael@14 99 <li>Mac OSX: No</li>
michael@14 100 <li>BlackBerry QNX: No</li>
michael@14 101 <li>Windows Phone: <strong>Yes</strong></li>
michael@14 102 <li>Windows Store: <strong>Yes</strong></li>
michael@14 103 </ul>
michael@14 104 </div>
michael@14 105 <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d">
michael@14 106 <h3>Why isn't OTPWCalc compatible?</h3>
michael@14 107 <p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.25em;">OTPWCalc might not be compatible with your platform of choice, usually because the necessary hardware isn't available to the author for development.</p>
michael@14 108 </div>
michael@14 109 <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d">
michael@14 110 <h3>What happens to my password?</h3>
michael@14 111 <p style="margin-top: 0.25em;">Take a look at the entry point in
michael@14 112 <strong>main.js</strong>:</p>
michael@14 113 <code style="margin-left: 2em; display:inline-block; line-height: 120%;">
michael@14 114 var secr = $('#paswrd').val();<br />
michael@14 115 var resp = hash(secr, user, iter);
michael@14 116 </code>
michael@14 117 <p style="margin-bottom: 0.25em;">In other words, the password you enter is neither stored nor transmitted. In fact, OTPWCalc doesn't store or transmit any data input <strong>at all</strong> (see James Bond question later.) It's a <em>calculator</em> in the true sense, just like a pocket calculator that adds numbers.</p>
michael@14 118 </div>
michael@14 119 <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d">
michael@14 120 <h3>Is OTPWCalc safe and secure?</h3>
michael@14 121 <p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.25em;">The algorithms of OTP have proven worthy of <strong>high security applications</strong>. OTPWCalc has been carefully designed and is tested thoroughly. It's both secure and safe to use.</p>
michael@14 122 </div>
michael@14 123 <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d">
michael@14 124 <h3>Is it useful in a corporate setting?</h3>
michael@14 125 <p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.25em;">Yes. Custom built enterprise versions are available accompanied with commercial support. Visit the <a href="http://otpwcalc.europalab.com/">OTPWCalc homepage</a> for information.</p>
michael@14 126 </div>
michael@14 127 <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d">
michael@14 128 <h3>Does James Bond use OTPWCalc?</h3>
michael@14 129 <p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.25em;">Maybe, but spies probably just look over shoulders or use cameras to steal the static passwords used in OTP systems.</p>
michael@14 130 </div>
michael@14 131 <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d">
michael@14 132 <h3>Same as Yubikey or RSA SecurID?</h3>
michael@14 133 <p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.25em;">Yubikey, RSA SecurID, and OTPWCalc use similar technologies for similar applications, but OTPWCalc is strictly software and doesn't depend on the time or date.</p>
michael@14 134 </div>
michael@14 135 <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d">
michael@14 136 <h3>How can I upgrade my OTPWCalc?</h3>
michael@14 137 <p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.25em;">This varies according to the operating system used so there's no single answer.</p>
michael@14 138 </div>
michael@14 139 <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d">
michael@14 140 <h3>Who owns OTPWCalc?</h3>
