Most 2FA can be done without a phone, and you can also use offline 2FA keys, not necessarily a text message.

You can also set up a phone number to accept texts from a laptop.

I can do whatever on my bank by just calling. It would be a bit weird to never be able to pitch in on meals with a $ transfer app, but I suppose when you run 2 tech companies you're probably paying most of the time, or you just take a note and transfer it later.

    Do you call via landline? I don’t know anyone who even still has one.

All 2FA options that require a phone like TOTP can be done just as easily on a laptop with a yubikey or nitrokey.

I have several business and personal bank accounts with two major banks. No Android or iOS needed.

Sure they push you hard to use them, but just say it is against your unspecified religion. They cannot make you use Android or iOS.

    And your medical provider who will only allow you to see your online medical records after an SMS 2FA challenge?
