Desktop authentication programs are no better. Authy has a terrible interface, which didn't tell me I should actually create an account to have my authentications synced. I had to use my email and password, so I thought I did have an account, but I did not. This caused me to lose authentication for various programs that luckily I was able to get back. >And to make it worse, finding malware on a Android phone is way harder than noticing something is off on a desktop. Thats if you notice. Plenty of malware is not going to be noticable if its programmed to actually steal something from you. Phone numbers aren't a perfect way to verify things, but that is why you have both mobile authentication, and/or numbers. Many people still do not use smartphones, and even if they do, you can drop it or have it die in thousands of ways that will make the data unrecoverable. Phone numbers, largely, are not going to change for people.
