I’d like your expert advice. My old smartphone is about to kick the bucket, and I can’t wait to finally let go of the tiny depression rectangle for ever. How can I keep using OTP and 2FA services when on a dumb phone? I expect that with time I will manage to limit the use of services that require this kind of stuff, but can’t at the moment. I don’t use my smartphone for much, so I don’t expect to run into much trouble, but is there anything else I might be forgetting apart from authentication issues? I’ll speak to my bank to see what they offer besides 2FA and app - I’m sure they have something since it’s a bank for farmers and old rural folk.
Btw I have been enjoying my collapse lately, as so much over-engineered stuff just starts failing and encourages a retreat to more simple solutions. I’ll do my part by ditching the surveillance box.
I really liked the microsoft option (this was work) to get a phone call and you would respond with a two digit number that it displayed on screen (so much better than it reading off a number to you). Unfortunately that is not ubiquitous. Honestly why not just not add apps to your phone. Its a nice cameria and it works as a phone. That is pretty much what mine is. I keep it off most of the time and use it as a phone and camera. Im not sure I would get another smartphone without a work reason though. Im not a big camera person but it is handy to have a decent enough one around.
