There are free, open-source, and privacy-respecting options for TOTP 2FA that don't require a mobile phone plan.

You can use something like KeepassXC (desktop) or something like KeepassDX or Aegis (on F-Droid on Android) for your OTP authentication app to manage 2FA for Google, Amazon, eBay, Dropbox, etc. and there are other options as well.

Just wanted to add emphasis on Aegis. I've been using Aegis for Google, GitLab, PSN, domain management. No issues.

And it has zero permissions needed (aside from camera which is granted on a need basis for scanning qr codes). And also works fine without ever having a Internet connection.

plus one on this. https://github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis
