How PhotoKey Works?

PhotoKey works with a photo you provide (any JPEG will do) and your personal emoji sequence called an EmojiKey. The photo is transformed into a downloadable PhotoKey file that can be used to authenticate into any website or blockchain app that supports PhotoKey.

PhotoKey can be added to any dapp or website by a developer in just a few minutes, making it easy for users to authenticate and access the dapp/website without the hassle of usernames, passwords, private keys, mnemonic passphrases and generally everything that users dislike. Developers can focus on building awesome apps for their users — PhotoKey does the rest!
