- ptoomey3 9y agoFor sure, software based tokens are not the norm (yet). Part of our hope with releasing a software based token is to push the security vs. user experience conversation forward. Sure, hardware tokens are great. But, they don't have the best UX and have a pretty steep barrier to entry. Hopefully Soft U2F helps to spawn a more varied set of solutions. Over time, browsers and password managers could integrate these kinds of features. For example, https://crbug.com/678128 https://crbug.com/678128 is a tracking issue for implementing U2F in Chrome itself, which would be great.
