Without requiring any additional hardware, the Vidoop login system provides the user with a method of receiving a one-time access code at the last moment, just in time for login.

The innovative system draws the user’s eye to the secret based on a personal selection made during the enrollment process. Instead of a password, each user chooses from a number of “categories,” like “airplanes,” “cars” or “keys.” At time of login, Vidoop displays an array of images including an airplane, a car, or a key, and several other unrelated images. Without knowledge of the secret, the display appears completely random to other observers.

The user spots the secret categories known only to him and notices a series of digits that act as the one-time access code. Since other observers do not know the user’s categories, they do not know which of the displayed access codes to use as the key. Only the user can interpret the one-time access code from the display.

Our target audience for this release is Microsoft technology professionals — IT pros and devs, mainly — who are actively engaged in online communities and are willing to try out some new concepts and tools. We also intend this release as a way to further the internal discussion with our stakeholders and partners about how “Web 2.0” and social networking technologies should fit into Microsoft product development, marketing, and evangelism.

While there are clearly areas of overlap between our (fully envisioned) community platform services and Community Server, we don't really see ourselves in direct competition with that solution. Rather, we hope to provide the "plumbing" that Web sites and other applications—including community sites built on Community Server technology—can use to complement and extend their online community services and user experiences. In fact, as far as we're concerned, communitarians far and wide should use whatever platform suits them best; we aim to provide the glue that can connect them to one another, and help them discover whole new communities of shared interest, wherever they may be on the Web.
