DroidID

Ah...all fixed and working great again. An excellent App.

I phones need this as well. It would be a shame if it didnt. Well not a shame but multiplatform would be great. Everything else is BOMB!!!!! Love this app. EDIT: its 2017 and I tried the latest version on Mac and it will not work at all. it crashes every single time. what I would recommend is you release a update and release the older version, since its working. tis would be my temporary fix, and I would do testing for the Mac app or the current version. other than that I love it. I will still see it a 5 star because when it worked, it worked well and I loved it.

Mac client launches then closes immediately. Last version was working. Running AppCleaner and reconfiguring causes same issue.

Please it doesn't work on Mac OS Sierra. I couldn't even get it to connect to my s7 edge. Plus the app keeps shutting down unexpectedly. Help

Sadly I have to give one star because the app simply doesn't work, on my mac (Sierra) it crashes and on my phone (galaxy s6 edge) it is stuck on the code screen even after I link the client app

Mac App took my password but wouldn't work afterwards. The app opens and closes immediately.

still doesn't work crashes within seconds. App cleaner shows no trace of it.

Good concept but keeps crashing on mac

Do you know windows support is now entirely possible using the companion device framework? (or Windows hello) if you Google for this, they have a demonstration app to get you started

Had to select a start, if not would be zero.

I have loved this app since day one. Works perfectly, no ads and delay time is just fine at least with me. This app comes incredibly handy when someone nearby asks to use your computer and you can just scan your finger right where you are for the person to log in without having to speak out your password or get up and type it yourself. Just ONE request, could there be a way to sync the phone and Mac via a user or something like that for it to log in without being connected to the same wifi network? PLEASE!

After seeing your post on Reddit , I just had to give it a try! Works wonderfully, and, while there is an acceptable short delay between the scan and the password being entered, I loved it! I use it every day now, and it allows me to use a more secure password without the extra pain of entering it every time (Pro-Tip: Set it up to open on login in user preferences) . It will even awake my iMac from sleep! Overall a great free app made by a great developer, with no ads or other gimmicks. Kudos to you!

it doesn't work every time, the laptop stops turning on after a few fingerprints... I have to always unlink the the phone, using this on Nexus 6p and macbook pro please fix for more consistent unlocking. So far it works max 3 times of testing, and it is such a hassle that it was faster to unlock by just typing the password

This works well for me, just not sure if it saves me any time. How do people use this app? To unlock my Mac, I have to pick up my phone, launch the app, scan my fingerprint. In that time, I could have simply typed the password into my Mac. That said, neat idea !

Amazing! Can't wait for WIndows support. Couple of points: - Wish it would support multiple Macs (and Windows when supported) - Would be nice if menu/settings etc. were available all the time. Struggled to get to them sometimes. Rating 5-stars as I'm expecting it to get better and better!

Edit: Still having the same issues as before even after reinstalling the mac client app. Great app and works as intended. Only feedback is that if the computer was put to sleep while the last mouse click was on a text box (browser, chat messenger, word doc, etc), the user's password gets automatically typed into whatever text box the computer was last on. Seems a little dangerous and would be good if there was a way around this.

Does it work on Linux os like Ubuntu? BTW love the app no ad nice clean website as well but some issues with your main website with pictures and text combination.just a review.

EDIT: I was probably too early to give this app a 5-star rating within the first day of use. After using this for a few days, I can say that it is hit or miss at the best. Please note that I do understand that it won't work to unlock the mac right after a boot and am not talking about that. I am talking about more general situations, when my mac is sleeping. Have particularly noticed this doesn't work when the Mac has been in a long sleep. I would say it works 5/10 times flawlessly. So, I am sorry but I can't give this a 5-star anymore. To the developer's comment below: I have a mid 2012 MBP, non retina. I mostly put my mac to sleep without closing the lid, by pressing the ctrl+shift+eject buttons. The app worked fine in the above use case in the first day of use but after that its a hit or miss. Is it meant to unlock the computer only when it's awake? The description says it will unlock a mac from sleep.

The app worked from time to time. You also had to remember, to open it after restarting your computer. It doesn't launch automatically. After updating to, Mac OS Sierra, the app on my Mac, didn't open at all. When it opened, it quickly closed unexpectedly.

This is an awesome app and works flawlessly for me. One suggestion will be to provide a widget to invoke the authentication mechanism rather than/or in addition to using the notification drop down. Update: This app worked for a day or two but since then the latency has increased too much. I tried both wifi and 3G and for me the delay in unlocking the system is 15-20 seconds (if I'm lucky). Hence reducing 1 star from the rating.

Great tool, very simple. Works almost perfectly. One thing that prevented me from giving the full 5 stars. There is bug when you change the password. It seems that it is not working properly, and when I tried to troubleshoot the issue, the password is not readable in the keychain. So I can't even check that the password was entered properly.

Tried setting it up multiple times, uninstalled the apk, but still doesn't work. If the dev can help me then I'll give it 5 *****

I recently had to reimage my mac and start fresh. I'm running Sierra and before I imaged I was running Sierra as well. Now both devices are connecting without a problem. The problem is that everytime I sign in it puts in the wrong password. I made sure the password was correct. Also keychain is not saving the password although the app is putting the right amount of characters when I sign in its just the wrong password I need help. I don't know if I'm missing something thank you

Setup, interface and stability of this tiny, low-overhead utility are well-designed and intuitive. No fuss or hassles... does one valuable task extremely well, without ads or any upsell.

This is a pretty good app, I would give it five stars if it would work when you manually lock your Mac. Also, sometimes when you unlock your Mac using droid id while your Mac is still showing the screen saver (you haven't interuppted it by rubbing the mouse) it enters the wrong password. Strangely, other times it works fine.

I really enjoy this app. Makes unlocking my Mac a lot easier. Personally, I don't think any additional updates are necessary. Great job, guys!

Often it says successful but the Mac doesn't unlock - I'm assuming it's a successful read but the command to unlock isn't received by the desktop app. Also needs an option to disable the "too many attempts" feature.

Most of the time app works perfectly but the problem scenario is like this. Put Mac to lock screen by ctrl + shift + power (Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2012) 10.11.6 Open the app on android (Xiaomi Mi 5S+ Marsmallow) Turn screen of on the phone too Wait 3 seconds Turn screen on on Android (The phone is pattern locked) Phone is showing the DroidID screen with waiting fingerprint reader When i scan my fingerprint nothing happen in app also in Mac I think the reason is the android waiting fingerprint reader to unlock the device first and doesn't let the app to get fingerprint data instead of system because system is locked in backstage. For instance if i exit from the app in this stage, pattern unlock screen comes after. I hope you can find a workaround to beat this problem. For other cases app works perfect!

Everytime I open the dmg file of Mac client it crashes. I even tried rebooting my mac and reinstalling it after cleaning all the cache but still it isn't working.

Please make a option to unlock the Mac without the need of opening the app in any way, it would give all users a reason to choose this over good old passwords.

Hi Suyash. Plz avail the feature to enable password input at the login user screen after powered on. (with all constraints taken)It would be of great help..thank you for keeping it ad free..

Would give 5 star of you FULLY support the app for the new OS. Its partly working I can unlock it when it's asleep from DroidID but not from when its logged out plz help! PS. I have added it to my Users and Groups preferences > Login Items. I have tried it with hide checked and unchecked same result, I'm very disappointed as soon as this bug/issue is fixes I will bump my rating to 5 stars.

Nedd some extra features like Mac id where you don't need to type password. But totally a great app.

This update wakes up my mac from sleep thus solving all previous issues. Brilliant use of technology.

Hi I love the look of your app but unfortunately I only have a windows PC are you going to enable support for windows in the future? thanks :)

Works flawlessly! Unlocks Mac even without touching keyboard or trackpad to wake-up screen!

Great app and works as intended. Only feedback is that if the computer was put to sleep while the last mouse click was on a text box (browser, chat messenger, word doc, etc), the user's password gets automatically typed into whatever text box the computer was last on. Seems a little dangerous and would be good if there was a way around this.

Kuddos to developer for fixing the crashing issues. maybe your next target could be to make it work when mac starts from boot? (feeling optimistic :) )

Looks good and works great. I have placed the mac client into the Login section but still cannot use the finger print scanner to unlock my Mac. All subsequent unlocking are fine.

Love the idea of this app. However for me it hasn't been very reliable. Even if my laptop is connected to WiFi and waiting on the login screen it often takes a few scans (and restarts of the app) for it to unlock my Mac. Might as well just type in my long password since it's usually quicker.
