My phone runs 2FA for almost everything. Missing my hard 2FA token, my phone is my only way of accessing a lot of stuff that I usually only have on my phone.
When my phone (5X) bootlooped on a trip (before I had the hard token) and I needed to access my email for plane ticket info/etc, I couldn't 2FA into anything.. I had to remember what airline I was flying, call them, then sort out details I was relying on having on my calendar or in my email.
Legit panic as I couldn't miss work and had spent hundreds on travel arrangements. I learned my lesson and got a backup hard token (and a backup for the backup that sits in a lock box) and I should probably drop the phone based 2FA as well for just the hard token but it is very convenient.
