How does this work if you lose or break your phone?
I know several people who use 2FA apps on their phones to log onto services and whose phones broke and they couldn't log on. While there is usually some way to recover your logon I'd argue that for most people and uses the chances of losing/breaking/replacing their phone and having to go through a painful recovery process outweigh the security advantages.

Once you have Kryptonite installed on your new phone, add the new public key to the accounts you were using SSH with before. So basically you'd need to have an alternative method of authentication to be able to add the new public key (and remove the lost one).
