2FA is not compatible with Linux and Firefox

Body

The Firefox browser asked me to "touch the security key" but there is no such thing. Also, Linux desktop doesn't usually have such thing set up.

Proposal:

Improve your security protocols. GitHub can work with Google Authenticator, why can't npm?

If you want to keep the current protocol, at least do the following:

1. Print the QR Code so that my phone can scan it.
2. The user should not have to press Enter.

Current workaround:

Copy the link to do it on phone. But I have to press Enter first which would open the desktop browser.

Hi @mecodeatlas, I don't know why you mentioned me under the other guy's response. But I would like you to at least program your automated bot correctly. Which, I assume, that response of your was automated. I have only made one comment that is the top comment.
