Comment (by kb9gxk):

 The implementation of sQRl includes the use of Desktops.  If you read the
 specs, the QR is clickable with a sqrls:// or sqrl:// URL for an app to
 call for authentication.  The user will have a desktop app that will
 monitor for these calls and take action.  I'm not saying this can't be a
 plugin, my argument is that you are stating that it can only be used with
 smartphones is incorrect and misinformed.

 > @johnbillion's point still stands, this is best done as a plugin, it can
 be considered for core if it gains traction.

 > Apart from that, anything that requires a smartphone for logging in has
 significant accessibility and user experience issues to consider - there'd
 need to be a very strong case for adding an authentication method that
 excludes people who don't have a smartphone.
