I would say because it relies on an hardware key, which few of your users are going to have anyway. Any tech requiring an hardware component is going to be much slower to deploy.
I know there is still much interest in deploying it for internal/employee authentication in large organizations where you control the app login and the employee hardware. Some organizations that wrongly deployed multi factor auth based on SMS have realized that was a poor choice and are looking for alternatives.
- acdha 3y ago> I would say because it relies on an hardware key This isn’t true on Apple, Google, or Microsoft devices which have a trusted hardware store – I use my MBP’s Secure Enclave for 90% of my logins since it’s just a Touch ID check.
- tialaramex 3y agoWell, there is a hardware key, it's just that it's the device you're using.
- turnsout 3y agoIn other words, having a hardware key is not a real barrier to use.
- politelemon 3y agoThe opposite. It's a barrier because most users don't have one.
- turnsout 3y ago…and yet most users are browsing using a device which itself contains a hardware key… and thus it is not a barrier.

- acdha 3y agoRight, but that gets rid of the objection: there’s no second thing to buy and carry around, it’s faster, and it’s more secure than the alternatives.
