You do not even need it for OTPs and banking apps. Even if employees tell you it is, they are always wrong in my experience.
That QR code you are always shown when you setup an OTP? It usually uses the TOTP algorithm supported by a dozen password managers or hardware keychain devices that will generate codes for you on demand without a phone.
Say you do not have a compatible phone and the app requirement can be waived by a manager.
Not had a smartphone in 5 years. It is never a blocker.

- lrvick 1y agoMany employers have tried. I activate it, throw it in a drawer to let the battery die never to be turned on again. People quickly find I am reachable at my desk and otherwise am always driving, in a shower, swimming, in a theater, it has a dead battery, every single time. Even in leadership roles. My time away from my desk is my time, and people learn to respect that, and even empower some of them to do the same.
