You work in tech. You regularly have to input some form of MFA, whether passkey or a rolling code MFA from something like Google Authenticator or Authy. You work from home, and slack is the primary form of communication, with email becoming a distant secondary form. Time AFK (Away From Keyboard) is possible if you have your #smartphone, and you panic if it's not within reach. How do you go to a #dumbphone, in this scenario? I would like to ditch my smartphone, carry a camera on #bike trips, reduce my #addiction to the internet a bit, reduce the #surveillance of my activity a bit. My main concern is work requirements for communication and MFA. I am curious about things like #grapheneos, #fairphone, dumbphones. I have a Google #Pixel, an older model, and definitely don't want something newer that has more #AI integration, surveillance. Have you done this? How did it go? Please boost.

    @morgan@sfba.social MFA for work should support SMS as an option instead of apps. At various times I have done it that way. Or a USB dongle? See what your employer supports.
