As an alternative, some services like slack when inputting the email/username and tapping login on the mobile web/app then send you an email with a link to the site that will log you in once automatically.
Given users are usually logged in to their email accounts on their phones it's basically hassle free login.
For me it was the most seamless login experience I've had on a phone!

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.
