My 76 old Dad loves checking the TOTP on his phone and asking me to verbally read it out when I need him to accept a 2FA push notification to let me log into his bank or government accounts so I can do something for him.

He says it “feels like 007 stuff.” “AI will never trick me!”

We also have a duress code word, listed in the notes of that KeePass(ium) entry with the TOTP.
