At this point why not just pass a one-time url link to your email address, and have it be a single click to login? Have it expire within 10 mins if not used, and be one-time use disposable. Still, anyone who has the link initially should be able to login with your account - but it's only accessible from your email.

Obliterates all sense of security beyond the email account itself, but that's where we're at anyway. Do the same pattern with a message to your phone "click to authenticate login: www.someurl.com?p=134234535" and you've got 2FA without any dumb "enter this code".
