Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a web authentication token for reliable phishing resistant second-factor authentication?

If Brave is synced with a mobile device, we could generate the keys in that device's secure enclave. When a site uses WebAuthn, we could prompt the user on their mobile device. Hardware-backed true 2FA, no extra hardware needed.
