You don't need a smartphone for 2FA.
You can use a terminal program called pass
(pass otp, to be precise), or you can get a special USB stick (yubico).
You'll need to authorise your browser once, and typically as long as you don't
log out/reboot, you remain authorised.
Please let me know if you need more instructions on how to set it up and use
pass (iirc, I posted hete on this some time ago).
We can perhaps put something on the wiki in that regard.
Yes, we can look for ways around it, such as a special mailing list - but we'd
rather buy you a Yubico key for 2FA.
Cheers,
Dima
