You could self-host Bitwarden/Vaultwarden, or something like that.

I think they send 2FA to all supported devices on one's Apple account?
- coderatlarge 10mo agoi just ran into a situation activating a new device in which apple were trying to send to a device i had forgotten to “properly” remove from that icloud account. and also another situation in which the 2fa code would flash on the remote device and disappear in a fraction of a second. i eventually captured it with screen recording but every time i did it the code was not accepted. my conclusion: apple had silently ruled that i would not be allowed to activate using that particular icloud account. no idea why. i tried a different one and things went through ok. arbitrary power in practice.
