Firefox lets you enable software tokens, and disable USB tokens: in about:config, set
then the registration will go through without needing a hardware token.

Err... and how is my software token generated? Where is it stored? Can I move it around browsers, e.g. use it with my Mobile Firefox after I generated in on the desktop?
In other words, I can't use it in production (yet), because I'd need to ask users to change browser settings for it to work. That's disappointing :(
You can use it in production for users who have hardware tokens (and it is used in production by many sites for 2FA). But if you mean you can't _exclusively_ use it in production, then yes that is probably true since not all users will have authenticators (yet).
