My issue with how things work currently is that logging into a native mobile app is not nearly as easy as logging into a website. That process has to improve. That why I like logging in with Facebook, Twitter or GitHub.

Still what I would prefer is a single trustworthy service which does not compromise my privacy for the purpose of advertising. I could use that service to log into any service which would integrate with this single service to get a one-time password to the user on the computer or mobile device they are using.

As the user I would be able to use an mobile app and browser plugins to get the one-time password to conveniently log in with as few steps as possible.

The problem clearly lies with mobile platforms that lack any option of extendability. This is by design, and as usual, at the expense of your privacy and security.
