Authentication on PC via Smartphone

[DrBones]

I would be awesome to have the desktop app authenticate via my smartphone biometrics, just like the Google popup that asks me if I want to sign into gmail or so.

Since I use many computers daily, most of which are desktop computers or are old and have thus no built in biometrics, I have to type in my pin repeatedly.Thus I kind of shy away from a nice long pin. It would be really handy to use the biometrics in my smartphone for that.

This feature has been requested before but closed due to a lack of interest here Old feature request, I want to resurface this maybe the time is ripe :).

I know that this represents an engeneering challenge to not compromise security but it would be a quality of life enhancement nontheless :).

Thanks
