So if someone steals your phone they can also steal your car? :v:
BRILLIANT IDEA!
Edit:
I was under the assumption that it was for cars too. I'm retarded. :v:
Amazing until you realise bluetooth is insecure and when your phone is lost/stolen you're fucked if you don't remember the passwords.
People with OCD wouldn't be able to double-check it's locked either. :tinfoil:

The keyfree login doesn't have anything to do with cars?

What do you mean insecure? Couldn't it be encrypted, and use some sort of changing password that depends upon the date and time so that if someone was 'looking in' on the signal, they could only use it for that minute? (I'm pulling this out of my ass, but I think it sounds logical)
there has to be some sort of safeguard installed because that is just a glaring operational flaw right there.
of course they advertise this on a mac, probably the only demographic of customers that would be stupid enough to do this.

Maybe but it doesn't take long to crack bluetooth's custom safer+ encryption like Thierry Zoller and Kevin Finistere showed with their OSX root demo.
This doesnt make much sense to me
You'd need keyfree installed on the computer for this to work, and seeing as you generally only install things on your home computer, the benefits of "never logging in again", on a computer where most people already don't do that (their personal home computer) don't really apply.
Especially considering 99% of people who don't want to bother logging in again at home, just use a browser that automatically has you logged in to websites anyways.
With this, it's assuming you live in some weird home where you always have your computer on and your web browser open 24/7 (who does that?), where you never save your passwords despite you being the only one who uses the computer seeing as its your home one (though this is slightly more valid for more than one person using a PC at home), and where shutting your PC down/putting it on sleep with a user password is [I]somehow[/I] less "secure" than simply leaving your PC on all the time and logged in.
Because honestly why would you bother with something that "securely" logs you out all the time when you leave, but yet leave your whole computer unsecured? And if you don't care about account security (because you are the only one who uses your PC for example), why not just have cookies enabled so you are always and forever logged in by default?
I had something exactly like this for Linux a few years ago, which worked pretty well. Nice going stealing independent devs shit Ford.
I like physical keys that you have to turn and shit.
They're much easier to keep track of and feel so much more satisfying than pushing a button.
woahh fuck that "yo come stand over here man somethings up with your computer" *changes facebook status to 'KKK rulezz!*
Spend 2.5 seconds typing in a username and password.
Spend 2.5 seconds placing your smartphone on your desk.
How does it make a difference.
what's with the Background music??
... So if someone picks up my phone, they can go and log in to my email, my facebook and whatever else? Yeah, no thanks.

Exactly. Just log out of your session, leaving all your web pages logged in
