And the site has to support U2F. U2F is a great standard but almost none of the businesses I interact with support it. There are maybe 3 banks in the US that support it, but not mine.

I don't understand why banks and businesses don't outsource the whole authentication business to someone that does nothing else, and then does proper 2FA (maybe with a choice of security levels), and supports as many standardised solutions as possible.
