I don't know how it is in USA, but in EU, if you don't know how to use a phone as 2FA you are basically out of almost every bank. And more and more apps are adding it. TRy to login to gapps/gmail and you get a question if you want to setup a passkey or something like that.

If you physically visit the bank you don't need 2fa. Also, you don't need email or passkeys.

I have relatives who don't own or use smartphones.

Depends on the bank and what you're doing. I've had to read an SMS sent code to the bank employee in person to verify that I'm me.
