For people interested in redesigning how web site authentication is performed, I would encourage a look at the FIDO Alliance specifications for "Passwordless UX" and "Second Factor UX":

https://fidoalliance.org/specifications/overview/

The problem with redesigning how web site authentication is performed is always that it requires support (or at least extensions) in the browser the user is using, as well as in the websites the user is logging into.

Both Microsoft and Google are members of the FIDO Alliance, so maybe these specifications may actually go somewhere. (Sadly, Apple is absent from the member list.)
