I am talking about SMS specific. You could still do TOTP based/Authenticator app (not perfect but much better than SMS) and then have backups on multiple phones or even password managers as needed so that it is not tied to one single phone number.

How does my Aunt who only has a flip phone use an Authenticator app? She doesn’t even know who to use sms but understands the call verification on online banking.
