Andreas Pashalidis has created “KYPS� — a free reverse proxy server that enables you to log into your accounts from a public/shared computer, without disclosing your password to that computer. KYPS is very easy to use and does not require you to run any software on the public/shared computer. All we have to do is to obtain a list of one-time codes from the KYPS server, print these codes, and keep the printout safely in our wallet (alternatively we could save our codes on our mobile phone or PDA). We can then log into our account using our one-time codes instead of our password.

You can use KYPS to log only into supported websites. The websites that are supported are currently “Microsoft Live ID (Hotmail), Google Mail, Yahoo Mail, WEB.DE, GMX, and MySpace.�

KYPS won’t save or record your passwords, but those’re required exclusively for generating a PDF file with our codes. KYPS then deletes our password and our one-time codes as soon as our codes have been returned to us. Each one-time code on the list is nothing more than an encrypted version of our password, which can only be decrypted by the KYPS server. The security of this encryption is based on the one-time pad technique.

Here are the steps to get started:

  1. Register with KYPS and it will generate a registerReply.pdf file with your one-time codes.
  2. Go to KYPS login page, select the website and enter the username.
  3. Enter the one time code by referring to the number on the one time code list.
