The biggest reason for me to pass on implementing an approach like this is what I THINK is the actual most common use case for a typical user when logging into a site at which they are a regular: They're doing so for the nth time, and

Cheers to that, that was a delightful way to pass 20 minutes. I'm in for $25--feels good to support a project like this, even in a small way.

Good question. I wrote this from the vantage point of developers, for whom NDAs is a different situation from that of investor types. There's intrinsically more precedent for an NDA to be rejected by someone potentially writing the checks
