ShakeMyHand

ShakeMyHand is an app that helps you verify the trustworthiness of digital interactions, offering one-time passwords that humans can use to authenticate identities. It's designed to help you avoid uncertainty when you're getting messages or requests from coworkers, friends or family members, so you know you're really talking to who you think you are.

ShakeMyHand has a few core features:

• Secure Verification: Create a shared three-word passphrase to authenticate identities by text message, email or video chat.
• Paired Phones: Scan each other's QR codes to link phones and create a permanent, synchronized secret password.
• Time-Based Passphrases: Create passwords that change periodically like an authenticator app, but that are words you can remember.
• Cryptography: Use serious encryption to protect handshakes.
• Unique Pairing: Create a custom, unguessable code that only the paired individuals can understand.

ShakeMyHand can be useful in a number of situations:

• Financial transactions: Verify the authenticity of requests to transfer money or share sensitive financial information.
• Team data security: Share logins or API keys with team members.
• Granting roles and permissions: Verify identities before changing access rights in tools or systems.
• Remote team verification: Verify you're talking to the right people in videoconferences.

ShakeMyHand's security is designed to give you peace of mind without relying on a middleman or a centralized server. The app creates time-based passphrases that are unique to the pair of people using it, so it's a good way to authenticate digital interactions.

To use ShakeMyHand, you and the other person need to download the app and scan each other's QR codes in person. After that, the shared passphrases are synchronized, so you can easily verify each other in digital situations.
