Password-less authentication for web site
Posted: Fri Dec 08, 2006 3:25 pm
Hi All,
I'm looking for a way to allow users to "authenticate" on my web site without a password. Essentially doing the same as ssh public key authentication. I was hoping to to be able to email user who can access my site a certificate / token or something similar which they store on their machine. Then I would have a piece of PHP code to validate that certificate / token. If they could be validated then they could see the site - if not then they get redirected to another page explaining that access is denied.
Does anyone out ther have any ideas?
Thanks.
