I might make this change. Are you using any kind of app for 2FA like Google Authenticator?

I still have a few things like Authenticator rooted on my iPhone. I mostly use hardware tokens, so Authenticator is nice to have, but not critical for daily use. Signal is another one, I'm currently using the linked devices, but I don't have a "new root" yet.

I believe there are some Google Authenticator apps for KaiOS, just not in the main app store, and I've not gone through the process of working out sideloading yet.

I'd love to go feature phone, but would be missing two essentials for work purposes:

- A 2FA application (eg Google Authenticator, Authy)

- A password manager (eg BitWarden, KeePass, etc)

I can do without emails etc but not those two, yet whenever feature phones try and be more feature-some they do the same old emails, FB, WhatsApp etc instead.

You can use a password manager to do TOTP codes.

Google Authenticator is sort of a crap option for doing TOTP, all things considered.
