I mean... aren't there quite literally devices whose sole purpose is to generate 2FA codes? Something with a form factor similar to a small keyfob?
I do know these exist but I've personally never seen one "in the flesh".
Also I can only imagine these (as a singular solution for all relevant employees) would probably also be easier to administer than a wild growth of different 2FA apps, most likely on different OSs and even different versions of those OSs, while over the years the churn of employees means the variation gets ever larger.
- unreal37 5y agoI used to have to carry around an RSA keyfob to be able to deploy code to production! I've had a few of those at different jobs! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_SecurID https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_SecurID I've never had a job that required "Google Authenticator" on my personal phone. I guess I stopped working for other people long before that became the main 2fa method. That might be a step too far.
