I imagine you've considered it already, but maybe your work would be willing to put the 2FA secret into something like 1Password, which you could access on your computer instead of your phone.

Defeats the purpose of 2FA though. I'd argue a cheap 2FA-only phone would be good, if they're struggling to touch their real phone without being consumed by distractions.

  • It does not defeat the purpose of 2FA as possession of the decrypted 1Password vault is the second factor.

    • Isn't that just remembering two passwords instead of one? And isn't two passwords instead of one basically the same as remembering one very long password?

      For that matter, how do they prevent you from using the same password for both?
