After using TOTP like Google Authenticator since around 2013, I now think the friction needed is just too great. Especially for banks which log you out after 15 minutes or so of idleness. Google doesn't do that.

Not to mention Google Authenticator deliberately prevents these stored tokens to be backed up and transferred to a different device, which makes upgrading devices troublesome.

I wish everyone would start using Yubikeys. WebAuthn is now widely supported by browsers.
