Thanks for the reply. Despite my gripe about this one aspect, your article was very complete and well written. I've bookmarked it to revisit when I need to implement 2FA in projects I'm working on.
That being said, I do not like a JavaScript API that provides access to this. JavaScript, JS developers, and the web in general has a horrific track record for security and privacy. To me, this is like the API that provides access to the battery charge state, or my accelerometer for device orientation.
Why? Entirely unnecessarily! But it's a cool feature, so let's include it. Suddenly, my keyboard typing is being exfilled through the browser, and I'm being tracked by my battery charge state.
Do not want!
EDIT: I've maintained this position for "WebBluetooth" too -- a similarly terrible idea. The less my browser does, the better!
