Looks like a nice solution to the problem. Although I do have a couple of quips with it. Most of the 2FA I use at the moment is using google authenticator / authy so the whole ‘no need for text messages’ isn’t really a big incentive to me. Also a box with text saying “Straightforward, low-cost pricing.” which then leads to a contact the sales team for pricing page is a bit of an antipattern in my books.
Also, and more of a technical/semantic question but if it removes the password is it really two factor authentication? I understand the need to use familiar terminology but it feels more like a one time password solution that two factor.

Looks like they designed their App Store page for users and their website for clients.

It’s just OTP, but “2FA++” is a better pitch for clients considering other 2FA solutions.
Ah, well there you go, I most certainly did mean qualm. Or at least I certainly didn’t mean quip as it is defined. I’ll keep the one in mind for the future.

I don’t think that’s what you meant. “qualm”, perhaps? I only mention this because I remember making the same mistake and feeling very embarrassed.

Does the PIN on the phone app qualify as a factor in itself? If so, it could be called 2FA.
Arguably? The PIN is weak to different attacks than the network service is…
Good point
Unfortunately their comparison table is missing Duo, which is probably the closest competitor.
I wonder how this compares to SQRL, apart from the personal controversy around the author of SQRL
