How to use android phone as a login key to your PC

Question

Is there a way to setup a Linux box to enable authentication by inserting correct android phone with correct software in it to allow user to login?

So when there is a login prompt shown user should be able to just connect her/his android and voila; user has logged in.

This old SuperUser question covers some similar ground and there's a few suggestions that this could be done easiest with Bluetooth, but no actual apps that help superuser.com/questions/21364/…

This probably would work similarly to an RSA Security Token.

@Power-Inside: I think they're referring to this app: market.android.com/details?id=com.rsa.securidapp – Lie Ryan Jun 23 '11 at 5:45
