I love 2FA, but only the TOTP based ones. No codes on my phone, emails or already authorized devices please

Github is extremely insistant on sending me a 2FA push notification on the mobile app every time I want to connect to the desktop. I find it very annoying because I configured TOTP based 2FA and do not want to rely on any proprietary 2FA mechanism. I just can't seem to make it understand that I want to use my TOTP tokens and only that.

remove mobile app as a 2FA. Use U2F/FIDO.

There’s no way to remove it if you have the app installed

What does it do if your device is off or somewhere inaccessible? (sounds frustrating)
