    Increasingly more services are moving away from SMS 2FA for security reasons. App based authentication tokens are the more secure wYhy to process multifactor authentication. You would need at the very least, a smart device capable of installing an authenticator so you can continue to use banks and sign into email providers that require it (most business emails). There are ways to do this without a smart phone but it will only make your life more complex.

      Nah, these time based 2fa codes can be stored on an extremely basic device that doesn’t need an internet connection. It would just need a clock set roughly accurately
