Maybe I'm missing something, but why would this work? Isn't it just 12 digits going to one phone number instead of 6? (also thinking about this is bringing me back to SYN-ACK from the old days)

The user chooses the second 6 numbers. For dumb users this won't add any security, but for smart users this ring alarm bells.

I like it, at least, for now. It's better than the current situation.
