You can just use your bank's website. No need for two phones

Until they decide that they only support 2FA by app push notification.

Care to name and shame that bank? I would like to avoid any bank that doesn't use a website.

Really? And you are okay with losing access to your money if your phone is lost/stolen?

If not, you should seriously consider switching banks (while you can). I suspect that such banks do not take security seriously: Giving control over your phone to Apple/Google is not security.
