Authy has a desktop client that can request tokens from your phone via Bluetooth, so you don't need to generate a token and type it in manually.

Good, so when the user requests a bluetooth connection you ask for permission or tell the user to turn bluetooth on

Don't ask the user to approve something he: doesn't know what you want to do with it and the thing screams "don't do it" at the particular situation
