turn SlickLogin has programming interfaces that can be used by any website to offer a new authentication method. The site generates a unique sound inaudible to the human ear. This is then analyzed by a dedicated mobile application. To connect to a Web application on the PC, the user will have to place the phone next to the speaker of the computer. The mobile application then sends a signal to the server of the web application in order to confirm the identity of the user.

The blog TechCrunch reported that SlickLogin also satisfies the geographical position of the smartphone by accessing different sensors of the phone (triangulation WiFi, GPS …).
