Yeah, totally. I'm still puzzled as to why they killed it - at one point they told us "We only want to show it to a couple of invited people" and the next moment the message was that it didn't get enough traction. Go figure.

Edit: Although, thinking about it, it's really ironic how the Google project inspired by Firefly got canceled way too early.

Duo is certainly not "failed"; it's actually doing very well internationally. It has the best video quality at the least bandwidth.

If I launched an app that got over a hundred million downloads and had many millions of monthly users I certainly wouldn't call that a failure!

Duo is an MFA. Whatever GOOG did that's called Duo failed because I don't know what it is.

multi factor authentication. https://duo.com/ which is not related to the google app.

That's what I thought MFA meant, I just didn't see the relevance. I've never heard of that Duo.
