If anyone prefers not to use a mobile phone for this purpose, it is possible to use an application such as Authenticator (fox Linux).

There are disadvantages to this, but for some people the requirement of a phone for 2FA is inconvenient or unacceptable.

I have used 2FAuth for years and it is rock solid. You can self-host it on a NAS or a pi or local computer via Docker. https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth
I just store them in bitwarden. Wonder what 2FA actually protects against, when any malware will just steal your session tokens anyway.
Or you can use a hardware U2F key.
