    Sounds like you need a solar powered sun visor for your car that will keep your phone charged and extract the codes from certain SMS messages and display them in giant LCD letters on the sun visor! Maybe some of the flexible, foldable LCD displays? Then you can just look out the window!

    Window? What's a window? I haven't had an office with a window since 2011. :laugh:

      Any recommendations/experiences for/with services that, for example, sends your phone a code (SMS), or phone apps where all you have to do is approve/decline ? Yes, this is for my new job, which I'm loving! No need to send codez, just your wisdom for what services rock and what services suck. ;)

      We use yubikey as do many secure businesses (think DoD, GOv, etc.). Little USB plug in (many sizes, we use one that virtually disappears into you device when inserted). All you do is enter a PIN to authenticate. https://www.yubico.com/

        Just use the good old send some random words (or numbers) to the user's email account. If that is not secure enough, then make sure the user apply with 2 email accounts, so that your service can send two sets of different random words (or numbers) to the user's two email accounts. Which may be as safe as a "2 factor authentication services". No fumbling with phone SMS / swipe here / swipe there, etc, etc. And if that is not secure enough, then make sure the user apply with 3 emai ... ... ... ... :thumbsup:

          They all suck cause I hate having to find my phone to get a code or send a push notification. Previous job used Duo and current one using Microsoft Authenticator.

          If you have an android phone, just go to messages.android.com/ and you can receive texts right on your computer. I use it all the time for 2FA. Not sure if there's an equivalent for Apple iMessage.

            AusCert recommends (for it's 2 factor auth services): FreeOTP app, Authy, 1Password, etc but also has instructions for google authenticator. I'm using FreeOTP and it's currently working a treat.
