That comes at the cost of needing Bluetooth, which isn't available on all computers. I.e. it's more secure than the prompt you have now, but that will at least work everywhere.
The right tradeoff between the security and the convenience/availability is something that is very context-dependent, and different for each user. Hence the multiple options.
