So for this to work, the website has to be on board, the user has to be on board, the user has to have their phone present, the user's phone has to be in working order (camera working, network working), the clef server has to be running correctly, and the software has to be working correctly on [the user's phone, the website's frontend, the website's backend, and the Clef servers].
Current process: click login box, type, tab, type, enter.
With clef: click cleff box, find phone, unlock phone, launch clef app, hold in front of screen, wait.
All of this to create an "advantage" of not having to remember a password at the cost of probably 15-30 seconds longer login time and a login process with more brittleness, as many steps, and more complicated steps.
Is there a big advantage I'm missing, because right now this looks worse in almost every way and dubiously better in only one.
I say dubious because I wouldn't trust the system to work, so id still memorize backup passwords. But some people have higher trust and thus would get the benefit.
The animation is cool though.
