Everyone not willing to carry around a device with them that can run arbitrary apps.


My point is, don't you already have a device that can run a TOTP app, namely the one you're using to access GitHub? You don't need a separate one. For example, KeePassXC can generate the codes on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

You can have TOTP apps on all of your devices.
