Not only dumb phones, but all regular Android users in China. They don't have the Play store app on their phones and can't sideload it because it's not a simple apk file. Even if they managed to hack that, it's blocked through the great firewall anyway. Whatever Android 2FA app an email service used would probably only be available via the Play store and thus cut off all Chinese users, and even people from China who moved to another country and brought their old phone with them.
- ploxiln 10y agoYou can probably sideload FreeOTP (which is what I use, although I do install it from the play store). A reasonably trustworthy APK download can be found on f-droid: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=freeotp&fdid=org.fedorahosted.freeotp https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=freeotp&fdid...
