Completely agree, the future of everything is mobile. I guess that raises maybe an obvious question in terms of the implications of authentication--what happens if I lose my phone?
FYI, LaunchKey White Label is available for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone today! We also have application-side SDKs for virtually every major programming language. Check out our GitHub repo which also has examples: https://github.com/LaunchKey

Geoff, do you guys support real-time auth for IOT?
@davewolfson1 Good question, and yes, we do! One of the advantages of LaunchKey's fully decentralized architecture is that it's ideal for smart devices and other online "things" that aren't typically compatible with passwords or tokens because they lack the requisite input/output devices (like a keyboard and monitor) to input that authentication. So whether we're talking about a smart fridge, a server, or some kind of sensor, if it has an internet connection, that thing can push real-time auth requests to anyone using the LaunchKey API.
In fact, LaunchKey is even capable of auth'ing to offline devices without internet connections. At the LaunchKey office, we're already auth'ing to offline smart locks, vehicles, and even drones! Instead of using a cloud connection, authentication and authorization takes place locally between a user's device and the offline thing using Bluetooth, NFC, or WiFi. However, this local auth capability is currently only available through custom integrations and not through LaunchKey White Label.
Geoff Sanders is my hero. Take special note of how well this cofounder knows the market, knows the product, and has delivered an answer to every challenge to the product. LaunchKey is literally a game changer. Watch this company.
