It's two-factor authentication for online communication. Aryuyu helps stop AI scammers from impersonating you, your friends, family, and colleagues by letting you verify that the people you speak to online are who they say they are. Here's how it works: 1. Add your contact to the ARYUYU app on your phone. 2. Your contact scans the displayed QR with their phone to add it to their two-factor authentication app. You can scan these QR codes over video call. 3. Later, if you are suspicious that someone is impersonating your contact (online, via text, or in a voice or video call), you can ask them to provide the 6 digit code displayed in the authenticator app from their phone. 4. Aryuyu will verify the code and alert you if it is not legitimate.
