You can a Yubikey for like $15? or so and use that for best in class 2fa.
You can also get an app for your desktop PC that can do TOTP codes (1Password has it built in, I’ve never used any of these applications though).
Thanks! Alas, it's all utter gibberish to me. I'm going to ignore this until GIthub refuses to talk to me ;-)
Their docs say "After you configure 2FA using a mobile app or via text message ...", neither of which I can do. If "Yubikey" requires some other kind of setup. their docs don't mention it.
yubico.com lists a ballfing variety of devices, from $24.50 to $90.00. If I buy one and plug it in, and that's the end of it, fine by me - happy to eat the cost. But I'm not keen to waste time wrestling with anything :-(
