Off-chain 2FA authentication #12

Open stefanopepe opened 3 years ago

stefanopepe commented 3 years ago

Summary Today, users who enable 2FA require 35NEAR on their account, and move on-chain transactions to perform any action. This is expensive and might be too complicated for smaller amounts and simple setups.

Intended Outcome As a user, I want to benefit from 2FA without the need for 35 NEAR on my account (and spending gas on every signature).

The most direct outcome of this feature is an increase of 2FA accounts, and improved confidence in NEAR wallet.

How will it work? From a user perspective, very few will change, since the flow should remain invariated. However, the backed will introduce a different signature algorithm, which will remove the need for on-chain transactions.
