Android Selector 1.1
{{#eclipseproject:technology.higgins|eclipse_custom_style.css}}
The Android Selector 1.1 allows users to login to websites by auto-filling un/pw fields from their Android mobile device.
Although we call this solution a selector it does NOT currently support the IMI protocol, only un/pw form filling. The Username/password data is persisted on (non-IMI-compliant) cards on a hosted I-Card Service.

Version
This page describes the Android solution being developed for Higgins 1.1
End User Perspective
The I-Card Selector allows users to manage, preview and delete i-cards, as well as to select and use them at relying parties.
This component only works at relying parties that explicitly support it. See the Relying Parties section of this page for more information.
