    Exactly. Which option do you choose, which app, is it avoidable at all and so on.

    I prefer the sms way, but overall is a pain in the ass

    I use the Google Authenticator app for 2FA. I have to use the Microsoft Authenticator app on my smartphone for work all day, so I am pretty used to it and don‘t mind it.

    sms.

    no big reason. but a small one: I mainly need this on mobile, and on iOS convenient that when you're on a web page asking you to enter a code, and you receive a 6 digit code via sms, the OS Will show a tooltip helping you to enter that sms code into the input without even switching apps.
