Bravo!!! Such a simple (and more secure) change to the way 2FA works. This should be the standard and also mandatory in many similar cases. Good for you and for sharing this improvement, that’s the mentality all of us should have. Reminds me on how Volvo shared the 3 point safety belt patent with everyone else so as to make all cars safer, instead of keeping it to themselves I order to profit [ https://www.forbes.com/sites/douglasbell/2019/08/13/60-years... ].

Re: Volvo's good deed -- In contrast, Edward Land (the Polaroid camera guy) came up with a system for polarizing car headlights and windshields to lessen glare from oncoming headlights in 1948. Apparently, none of the car manufacturers implemented it because there was nothing to gain financially from such a safety feature. https://www.polarization.com/land/land.html
