Clef was a San Francisco-based technology company, known for developing a mobile app that created a two-factor authentication for websites. [1] [2] It allowed users to access sites with a single login password management service which stores encrypted passwords in private accounts. [3] [4] It had a standard verification method that requires access to data on the mobile phone to confirm the user's identity. [5] [6] The application required a Wi-Fi or mobile network, and the user could log in by scanning the computer screen with their phone. [7] [8]
Clef was founded in 2013 by Mark Hudnall, B. Byrne and Jesse Pollak. [9] [10] It raised $1.6 million in seed funding in November 2014. [11] Clef integrated with many websites and applications, including WordPress. On March 17, 2017, Clef announced they would no longer support the plugin after June 6, 2017; Clef was acquired by Authy, another 2FA service, which later got acquired by Twilio. [12]
