It is very interesting to see Twitter has the similar idea with ours.

We just submitted a research paper 2 weeks ago to SPSM'13 (http://www.spsm-workshop.org/2013/). We proposed a password-free login system, of which Twitter's new 2-factor auth solution is a special case. We also discussed about the solutions to vender lock-in and 2-factor auth in the paper.

I put the paper in public for interested readers. You can download it from http://about.bozhu.me/paper/loxin.pdf

PS. We did a conceptual Android app about password-free mobile payment, under the same idea, in last year when we participating in the MintChipChallenge by the Royal Canadian Mint. The source code is available at https://github.com/Xecurity/EasyChip
