Login Dongle protects your login by means of a security question (AKA challenge/response) as an extra security layer.

How it works

1. Go to your standard login page, fill in the form as usual, and click the bookmarklet.
2. A prompt asks the challenge. Fill in the response, and accept.
   
   

Why it works

• Under the hood, the bookmarklet submits login data, together with the challenge and response.
• If both challenge and response validate on the server, the login process goes on as usual, otherwise it dies.
• The login page stays exactly the same as usual, so attackers won't know how to guess challenge and response.
• Only you know the response to the challenge, so nobody but you will be able to use the bookmarlet.
• People using your PC won't be able to login even if your browser fills in the login form with your password.

Login Dongle is compatible with any other login plugin.
