Umm... Doesn't this add an EXTRA step for login? Why do "users love it" then?

I assume the "seamless" part you mention here means that no extra window etc etc... except that after i click login, it's now going to wait for me to pull out my cellphone? What if it isn't around? What if i lose it or I am out of battery?

I mean from a geek's point of view, sure it's pretty darn cool (ps: I am a geek too!) But from a general user perspective, is it really that much more useful?

Its seamless for two factor authentication, not regular logins.

hmm... well compared to that, yeah. way better than the "wait, we'll message you a code!" thing. good work!
