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.
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.
You mean something like a Yubikey?
Perfect, thanks :)
