But I have many scars from my time in the Google account swamps. We had a big team, lots of resources and even just getting people to use their phone as a second factor - *the simplest second factor possible* - was a huge uphill battle that most users just didn't care about. People like passwords. If you can find a way to make something that's better than a password but just as convenient, fantastic! But I don't think Bitcoin addresses are such a thing.
