    Aha. Never thought of landlines that accept text messages (some MFAs require a text setup) but if this was to work, it would be a practical solution to this cellular leash.

      There are hardware keys for 2fa. I know there’s one called YubiKey and you can use it for OTPs.

        The issue is largely the authentication source – a bank may not support hardware keys, even when you have one, insisting on SMS.

          Which is insane because SMS for 2fa isn’t the better choice
