To protect your account and this system from intrusion we require a second verificatrion factor.

There are a range of options. TOTP authenticators are a good first factor because most people always have their phone with them. USB and on-device options might be more secure but have more limited portability.

TOPT Authenticator

Install an authenticator from your phone's marketplace and get access to a secure rotating passcode. Once linked, verification is just a matter of copying that code back into here when prompted.

Benefits: free, portable.

FIDO2 Device

A broad range of devices: Windows Hello (fingerprint, facial recognition), Google Chrome, Google Android (via biometrics or location), or FIDO2 USB and NFC keys.

On-device options are convenient but will lock you to that device. USB keys are more portable.

U2F-FIDO Device

Predacessor to FIDO2, these are usually USB devices that start blinking when you need to authenticate. Press the button and you're done.

These are cheap and convenient for desktop-only installations.
