Last night I dreamed I got lost and didn't have cell phone.
I went to the library, asked to use one of the computers they have for library patrons.
I was able to use Google Maps, but I couldn't get in touch with a friend who lived nearby, because -- I didn't have my phone. Everything set up with two-factor authentication, I couldn't get to email or send text message. Maybe just as well, on a public kiosk like that. But was distressing.

There's 2FA on my dreams.
