FWIW, I currently get two-factor auth codes on my band just because it shows text messages out of the box.

That's more convenient than unlocking my phone to get the code when I miss the brief notification. My plan though, is to port my PIN grid proof of concept to the band.

Going to have to give UI some serious thought, but looking forward to making it happen.

Some 2fa implementations need you to use an app to generate a token code rather than texting you a code.
SMS is not a very secure channel for that second factor. Better than nothing, but cellular has all kinds of security problems.
