In what way is bcrypt an alternative method when compared to two factor auth? Also, from the point of view of the live MITM attack you mentioned above physical tokens or TOTP wouldn't help either. What exactly are you proposing they do?
- peterwwillis 13y agoErr, you're right, bcrypt wouldn't help stolen passwords and a token wouldn't help a mitm. TOTP would be useful if it were used in a separate channel, but not in this case. I was just brainstorming ways to make authentication suck less in general.
