Doesn't change the fact that I'd need a specific device to login, still can't do anything from my isolated work computer. If I was carrying my personal laptop around with me, I wouldn't have this issue to begin with, I'd just message from there.
Makes me wish something like a literal USB key existed. Altho for now I'll probably just not use 2FA on my email, and use an alias instead for protection.
You mean something like a Yubikey?
Perfect, thanks :)
Hear me out, keepassxc has OTP capabilities, it is a password manager that uses just one file as a database. Just with your work computer you can log in without the need of a phone.
The only hassle is syncing the file.
Hmm, might look into it a bit more. Thanks for the starting point!
No problem, I currently use a password manager for the command line based on gpg keys and synchronized using git. It is inteded more for linux but I think it has windows clients. If you are interested: https://www.passwordstore.org/
You can also use keepassxc on your phone, I don't know if there is an app for iOS but play store has an app.
