They always seem to want phone numbers, which in a lot of countries are easily attributable to real people.

One more time the "techbros" of Silicon Valey don't realize their actions are hurting people.

Just buy two yubikeys.

Why? Instead of 2FA?

You can do both TOTP and U2F on an yubikey.

U2F is much harder to trick..

And TOTP on your phone is likely to get hacked. TOTP on a physical yubikey is a much harder target.
