| michael@4 | 47 | <h3 style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">What is a One Time Password?</h3> |
| michael@4 | 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@4 | 49 | </div> |
| michael@4 | 50 | <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d"> |
| michael@4 | 51 | <h3>What can I do with this app?</h3> |
| michael@4 | 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@4 | 53 | </div> |
| michael@4 | 54 | <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d"> |
| michael@4 | 55 | <h3>What can I do with OTPs?</h3> |
| michael@4 | 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@4 | 57 | </div> |
| michael@4 | 58 | <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d"> |
| michael@4 | 59 | <h3>Can I log into my Google account?</h3> |
| michael@4 | 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@4 | 61 | </div> |
| michael@4 | 62 | <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d"> |
| michael@4 | 63 | <h3>Can I log in to Win/OSX/Oracle?</h3> |
| michael@4 | 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@4 | 65 | </div> |
| michael@4 | 66 | <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d"> |
| michael@4 | 67 | <h3>Can I log in to Unix/Linux?</h3> |
| michael@4 | 68 | <p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0.25em;">Yes, by using PAM and it's quite easy.</p> |
| michael@4 | 69 | </div> |
| michael@4 | 70 | <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d"> |

| michael@4 | 88 | <h3>Can I install OTPWCalc on …?</h3> |
| michael@4 | 89 | <ul style="margin-top: 0.5em;"> |
| michael@4 | 90 | <li>FirefoxOS: <strong>Yes</strong></li> |

| michael@4 | 105 | <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d"> |
| michael@4 | 106 | <h3>Why isn't OTPWCalc compatible?</h3> |
| michael@4 | 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@4 | 108 | </div> |
| michael@4 | 109 | <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d"> |
| michael@4 | 110 | <h3>What happens to my password?</h3> |
| michael@4 | 111 | <p style="margin-top: 0.25em;">Take a look at the entry point in |
| michael@4 | 112 | <strong>main.js</strong>:</p> |
| michael@4 | 113 | <code style="margin-left: 2em; display:inline-block; line-height: 120%;"> |
| michael@4 | 114 | var secr = $('#paswrd').val();<br /> |
| michael@4 | 115 | var resp = hash(secr, user, iter); |
| michael@4 | 116 | </code> |
| michael@4 | 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@4 | 118 | </div> |
| michael@4 | 119 | <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d"> |
| michael@4 | 120 | <h3>Is OTPWCalc safe and secure?</h3> |
| michael@4 | 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@4 | 122 | </div> |
| michael@4 | 123 | <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d"> |
| michael@4 | 124 | <h3>Is it useful in a corporate setting?</h3> |
| michael@4 | 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="//otpwcalc.europalab.com/">OTPWCalc homepage</a> for information.</p> |
| michael@4 | 126 | </div> |
| michael@4 | 127 | <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d"> |
| michael@4 | 128 | <h3>Does James Bond use OTPWCalc?</h3> |
| michael@4 | 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@4 | 130 | </div> |
| michael@4 | 131 | <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d"> |
| michael@4 | 132 | <h3>Same as Yubikey or RSA SecurID?</h3> |
| michael@4 | 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@4 | 134 | </div> |
| michael@4 | 135 | <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d"> |
| michael@4 | 136 | <h3>How can I upgrade my OTPWCalc?</h3> |
| michael@4 | 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@4 | 138 | </div> |
| michael@4 | 139 | <div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-theme="c" data-content-theme="d"> |
| michael@4 | 140 | <h3>Who owns OTPWCalc?</h3> |
| michael@4 | 141 | <p style="margin-top: 0.25em; margin-bottom: 0;">OTPWCalc is the property of the copyright holder, Michael Schloh von Bennewitz.</p> |
