As far as complying with 2FA requirements without these, if TOTP is an option, one way is to use Authy with desktop client. It's free.

How secure it is I can't really say. But it will allow you to access services requiring TOTP without a cellphone or usb dongle.

If you're as crazy as I am, it looks like oauthtool+gnupg2 can do TOTP via the command-line on Linux as well. I think it's just another function that my homeserver will take over (or maybe a container). At least I can easily integrate this new info into my backup system, unlike apps on my phone...

There is also an Authy linux app, but, sure, open source command-line sounds great.
