This seems to have changed; you're able to use e-mail MFA (and is what I use for my account).

Let's just hope they don't use _that_ for marketing purposes! ;)

Actually, that option has existed forever, since even before the app-based MFA.

However, if you use the "less secure" email MFA then steam places limits on your account that don't exist with the app MFA, like a forced delay on executing trades.
