I know that USAA offers TOTP 2FA. Not sure about calling though.

Sadly, USAA is only open to military service members and their kids. That would be my choice if I could use it.

Not true. They offer insurance only to military families. Banking is open to anyone. EDIT: This is no longer true as of 2013.

You USED to be correct. I'm not military and I have a USAA bank account. For a couple/few years they opened accounts to civilians, but then reversed that decision about a year or so ago. Now bank accounts are only offered to military again.

Are you sure? At the link listed below, it seems that it's only available for military.

You are right and I was wrong. They changed the rules in 2013: https://communities.usaa.com/t5/Other/USAA-Changes-Membershi...

They've grandfathered in existing members who wouldn't qualify today.

Yes, but it's this janky Symantec-only implementation. AFAIK I'm unable to use a generic TOTP authenticator like Duo or GA.
