This is where I stand. Regrettably it becomes harder and harder now that everything uses 2FA, cannot leave home without the phone.

You most certainly can: I do that every day.

Which companies cause you problems? Maybe I can offer suggestions.

I barely tolerate TOTP (thanks to oathtool), but any business that want to impose SMS 2FA on me will not have me as a client.

Where I'm at org policy requires a specific 2FA solution. Thanks for the suggestions, though, I'm hoping to move on in a year or so and I should hopefully be able to a void this going forward.

I don't have a smartphone so I have installed 2FA app to my laptop. That works great:)
