Thanks for addressing me as "Dude" and using the f-word!

1. OP is asking smartphone; SMS 2FA does not require a "smartphone", but "mobile phone".

2. Alternative options mentioned above should you be in the misfortune of losing your... "phone"

Sensitive, ha?

Nitpicking and strawman argument. They're both part of, and compounding, the same problem.

Sure they "should", but they're often not offered... even if you insist.

And more often than not, the alternative options available take weeks of phone calls and visits to the local (if you're lucky to have one) branch office of your /whatever service failed you/.
