Using this type of technique (Clef and SQRL) on every login sounds like a particularly evil version of hell.

I have found 1Password to be pretty hellish, and I don't even consider not using a password manager an option anymore. So clef and SQRL sound great to me.

any particular reason why? I'd love to hear more of your thoughts...jesse @ our domain (if you have a second).

Getting out my cell phone, navigating to an app and then doing something or other with a QR code. For. Every. Single. Login.

And who knows what happens on a mobile site or app.

Yuck.

Fair enough; although, in our experience users have enjoyed the flow much more than passwords. I'd encourage you to give it a shot and let me know if it's as unbearable as it seems to you.

On mobile, when you click the button, you're just redirected to the app where you approve the authentication request and are automatically logged in.
