Some of us have age related presbyopia for which the "Flyspeck 3" fonts used by mobile phones is unreadable; for us, these devices are hostile. The requirement that 2FA use mobile phones is a violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act (and constitutes unconscionable ageism, as well).

Note that it can be setup as a TOTP source. Admittedly it's less secure if you are browsing on the same device as is running the software, but at least it defends against server-side password breaches.
