I want to do this - except I have 2-3 apps I feel I could not live without. Google Auth for 2-factor been the main one.

If you use 1Password, they have 2-factor auth built-in. Read more here: https://support.1password.com/one-time-passwords/ https://support.1password.com/one-time-passwords/

  I didn't realize they had that feature. Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of 2FA to have your password and your second factor in one single app?

What are the others? You could always switch to one of the low-app smartphone platforms. I recommend Sailfish. It has a really nice native Google Auth 2-factor app.

  For me, Google Maps Navigation. Having real-time routing and traffic updates without paying a fortune for a fancy SatNav is wonderful.

    I just did a road trip through southern Utah with the explicit goal of not using any turn-by-turn navigation. It requires a little more up front planning, but if you reset your trip odometer at each major turn, it's just as easy as following navigation. It also felt good to not be dependent on the navigation.

      This is true in the countryside, but in populous regions, smartphones with their traffic data and ability to reveal sneaky routes stand to really enhance the road adventuring experience.

      I imagine the roads in southern Utah are somewhat different to the UK. The best comparison here, whether urban or in the countryside, would be a plate of spaghetti.

  For me, the DB Navigator. The app of the German railway that has timetables and connections for all sorts of public transit in the country. Also the music player.

Is there a way to use SMS as a 2nd factor? That would eliminate the need for a smartphone.

  Some people prefer the Google authenticator app, do to it being more secure, and not relying on cellular connection(I.e. wifi instead).
