I'm struggling to understand how the concept is supposed to work once the QR codes have been verified. Will the app automatically tell me that the email I received is from the right person or a whatsapp message? What is the difference to calling the person and asking if they actually sent the message? Regardless of my unanswered questions, I support the issues of cyber security and personal identification security. I think we will need many concepts and implementations like this app in the near future, especially with the advent of AI, which will allow scammers to make their activities much easier. Congratulations on the launch

@abracadabrawork Good questions. The short answer is: no, the app won't do any automatic verification or put a checkmark next to a WhatsApp message for example. Once you've paired with a contact, both parties' apps will generate the same passphrase at any given moment. Here's how that adds a layer of security: 1. Manual Verification: When you receive a communication you want to verify, you can request the current passphrase from the sender. If the passphrase they provide matches the one on your app, you can trust the communication is authentic. So this is a manual process. 2. Proactive Sharing: Alternatively, when sending a message or email, you can include the current passphrase. The recipient can then cross-reference it with their app, confirming your identity. This method differs from the phone call in your example because theoretically, you'd ask your contact for the passphrase during said phone call to make sure your contact is the real deal and not some clever scammer with an AI voice modifier (in the case of a phone call).

@tioluwani_akeju I have a bunch of ideas for new features but let’s first see if the initial concept gets some traction. Or do you mean something else?

ShakeMyHand is an interesting product, and I hope it achieves success. I encourage everyone to support this product. I believe it was developed by an indie hacker, and nowadays, more products developed by teams are being released on Product Hunt. Often, a high number of votes doesn't always reflect the quality of a product. Let's show more support for indie hackers.
