> So what kind of 2FA would be homeless-proof?

Almost certainly is a bad idea. But the first thing that seems like it could work would be an implantable nfc yubikey. Then making more devices support nfc.

I know I would be pretty tempted to get an implantable 2FA device if one was available and seemed like it would have both broad and long term support.

Ah, yes

I can read the headline now

“GOVERNMENT PROGRAM TO CHIP HOMELESS PEOPLE LIKE DOGS TO PROVE IDENTITY”

I implore you to read The Scarlet Letter and perhaps read up on [similar such things](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identification_of_inmates_in_G...).

Oh come on now, you're being a little harsh. They prefixed the comment with "Almost certainly would be a bad idea"
How could you possibly come to the conclusion that a homeless person could afford a surgically implanted 2fa token?
