[App] DroidID - Unlock your PC/Laptop using fingerprint sensor



Hi everyone,

I recently got a Galaxy S7 edge (wonderful phone!) and it came with a fingerprint reader, and as a developer, it was another feature a developer can build an app around. I became curious and I was looking for some apps that support fingerprint readers, and came across MacID, which is an iPhone/Mac app that allows you to use the TouchID sensor on the iPhone to unlock your Mac. Sadly, there's no Android alternative for it.

So I decided to make DroidID. It's a free Android app using which you can unlock your PC/Laptop using the fingerprint reader on your phone. It makes it very convenient and secure to unlock your device. All you have to do is pair the Android app with the client app, and whenever you want to unlock your PC/Laptop, you just press on the unlock notification and scan your fingerprint and that's it!

Requirements
  • An Android device running Marshmallow (or above), with a fingerprint reader
  • Any Mac running El Capitan (or above). Support for Windows coming shortly

You can download the app and the client from my website: http://ift.tt/1o4m1xi

It's my first cross-platform app! If you have any comments or suggestions or anything else, please feel free to leave them below.
