So in that mode it's a proprietary alternative to FIDO that requires a camera to image the phone's screen?

A lot of work has gone into the FIDO spec to make sure it can be used across a wide range of environments. I don't see the utility of buying into a proprietary 2-factor system that seems to be solving the same problem. If you added u2f-hid support to eliminate the hack of transmitting data via pictures and cameras, wouldn't your system behave exactly like FIDO?

Isn't the natural progression for a company like Duo or Clef to pivot to being a managed FIDO 2-factor service, for organizations that want central management of 2-factor auth without creating their own management system?
