Tiqr predates it and does the same thing. However, U2F and UAF from FIDO alliance are the new protocols that are being standardized, and they're looking good too.

According to Steve Gibson (SQRL's inventor) tiQr is quite different:

"It superficially appears to offer a user experience similar to SQRL. However, as is every other such system, what's going on is actually far more complex and involves/requires establishing “shared secret” account credentials with the authenticating website. As they explain on their technical page, TiQr is based on the OATH (open authentication) OCRA protocol suite, which was standardized by RFC6287."
