As far as I understand you don't need to type in your password. So the login would
have the following workflow:
Type in the username on the Yahoo login page and click "login" (without entering
a password). You'll get a notification on your smartphone with details about the
computer/device where the account access request was made from. If you accept this
request, you'll get access to the account on the pc where you want to login.
No need to know a password or type in a one time code. Only a username and the
(registered) smartphone is enough.
Sounds very interesting.
