This is really bad even just from the perspective of user behavior. Training people to scan QR codes from anything that looks like a captcha box is HORRIBLE for security.

"Thanks for scanning the code, just one more step! Please input your phone number, and type in the code you receive."

Boom, account stolen.

    And the phone number thing is already happening too. Google, discord and probably other stuff already ask for a phone number to prove you are a human when they flag your account.
