Unfortunately, I'm having trouble thinking of anything that wouldn't require significant work on the client side, and that doesn't involve just sending users through a complex process of going to the web site. Requiring a 2FA code (without logging in, but just using the one-time passcode as a PIN), or a PIN, will require the user to actually configure that after registering or logging in, making the process a bit more complex. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
