Spark 2 and iPhone

[Aemun]

@Derek

Spark 2 Installed!

Was there lots of blood? That seems like a lot of bandaging to me for a single install

[Derek]

I had work right after the install so I added some tape to hold everything down, quick and easy install

[Derek]

Is there anyone who can send me an invite to the vivokey forum please!

You have to use your Vivokey product to login, but I will send you the link to the login page

There is 2 Vivokey forums ( Sorta ), one was for the Beta testing group ( No longer active )
So if you were trying to get into this one, you wouldn’t be able to login
https://forum.vivokey.com/login

so now only this Forum
https://members.vivokey.com/

It should be straightforward, but let me know if you get stuck

Have you installed the App?
Are you on Android or iPhone?

VivoKey

The VivoKey platform is an identity provider (abbreviated IdP) - a system that creates, maintains, and manages identity information for principals while providing authentication services to relying applications within a federation or distributed network. Identity providers offer user authentication as a service. VivoKey secures your digital identity by scanning a VivoKey cryptobionic implant. Our implants are subdermal devices that perform cryptography in vivo, and prove you are you using stron...

iPhone, so I wasn’t sure if I was able to get into
It or not right now. Thanks for the info about the 2 forums I must have been on the wrong one.

No problem, also, sorry, I saw you had iPhone, I meant to ask if you had access to any other Android devices, Tablet, drug dealing burner phone or just to borrow.

Have you seen this thread? iPhone App should be available in Autumn ( Northern Hemisphere)

VivoKey for iOS Dev Update:

Hi, just wanted to jump in quickly and pass the news. After so much struggle and many months of back and forward, Apple has finally bent their arm and modified their framework on our request to enable us to talk to Spark1 chips. iOS 14 is now compatible with both Spark1 and Spark2 chips. We still need to squeeze some bugs since the whole system was specifically designed to work for Android only. Look forward to VivoKey on iOS this fall. Ryuuzaki.

Until then, if you can borrow an android, you can do all you setups, profiles and logins, then delete the app on the borrowed android ( Although they cant login to the app without your Spark )

And this is how to link / login to your DT forum and Vivokey forum with your Vivokey ( Spark 2 in your case )

VivoKey authentication now supported on Dangerous Things forum

Hey everyone, The Dangerous Things forum now supports VivoKey based authentication! Since you’re reading this, you probably already have an account. To properly link existing accounts with your VivoKey, follow these steps; 1) Click your profile icon in the upper right corner. [dt-forum-vk-1] 2) Click your username in the drop-down. [dt-forum-vk-2] 3) Click “Preferences” from the menu. [dt-forum-vk-3] 3.5) If you have two-factor turned on, you have to disable it to associate VivoKey [two-fac…

Modern iPhones have the hardware for NFC but my experience so far has been that they are kinda iffy. So far I haven’t been able to use my iPhone to interact with my implants.

Hey mstar! Glad you’re done with your lurking.

Which iPhone model do you have?

[mstar27]

Oh no! I’ve been exposed! Camouflage activate! Also, iPhone 8. My xLED will light up when I try to mess with my implants confirming it had the hardware for it.

[Satur9]

Fixed it. Now no one will ever know

Yeah, I think the iPhone 8 was the first one with full NFC support. Maybe it still had some quirks. It also depends on what implants you’re trying to scan. The iPhone 8 will not support the Spark 1, for example.

[mstar27]

sneaking NFC hardware was put into the iPhone 7 and all since then. iOS isn’t known for user control of their device, just sayin. But I’m using an app designed for working with NFC chips so idk. So far I’ve tried all my implants and all I get is my xLED glow.

Unfortunate I probably have a negative modifier as I’m 6’3”. I guess I’m probably at -1

[mstar27]

I’ve tried rubbing my hand and phone together at so many angles and yet still not working. Maybe my phone is “special”

Are you using an app or just scanning on the lock screen/home screen? While iPhone 8 can read NFC tags, ‘background tag reading’ (reading without an app trying to scan) is only enabled on iPhone XS and later.

I reliably get reads with multiple implants on my 11 Pro, my girlfriends 11 and my brothers 11.
