I agree. My SO is nowadays so frustrated by all the security hoops and pseudo-security hoops like Gmail regularly stopping to work with her Thunderbird (she regularly needs to setup a new app specific PW). Other spps/sites sending SMS, others forcing you to use their app for verification and not one standard to get used to.
I am used to this from work but even there MS pesters me to install MS authenticator while I clearly always just use my regular 2fa solution.
And because I think the state of 2fa is not user friendly my own solution is not very secure by using Authy with a client on every device. So there is no second factor. I just copy paste from the app on my computer and don't need to grab my phone.
