Also consider the 2 factor cases, where you have to transcribe a 6 digit number in 30 seconds.

The aim is to push sites to allow for other methods, such as WebAuth based hardware/OS methods like Windows Hello.

Yes, but the reliability is not great, and not standardised AFAICT. Sites do strange things to even username/password fields, expanding the range of things that *might* be remembered by browsers /pw-managers doesn't seem like a great approach.
