there definitely is a very practical alternative, one which is also
significantly more secure *and* works offline.

very much so.

no such requirement.

there are *numerous* totp apps not just for phones, but also laptops
and desktops, making it both more secure than sms and more convenient
too.

Hre it is the minimal requirement. If you want to use banks and other

  Don't be a wuss, Carlos! If nospam says it can be done, it can be
done! You just have to change banks, move to another country or similar
minor inconviences. And when you've done that, there will be another
problem with some other 'provider' so you once again change provider
or/and company. Peanuts.

  BTW, just for laughs have a look at the server and client
implementations on the Wikipedia 'Time-based One-time Password
algorithm' page to see what a total mess this "very practical
alternative" is.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_algorithm>

  FYI, my bank(s) are using OTPs with proprietary tokens similar to the
CAP readers which MC uses for their CAP. (There you have some more
acronyms/initialisms to look up! :-)

  But as they're proprietary, they're obviously *not* the required
"practical general alternative" for SMS.

there is no mess and it's a very straightforward algorithm. 

end users can download any of a number of totp apps, including google
authenticator, microsoft authenticator, lastpass, 1password, authy,
freeotp, as well as several others. there are numerous server-side
options as well. 

unlike sms, totp is not limited to only one device, providing backup
sources for codes should one device (e.g., phone) be lost or stolen or
otherwise inoperative. it's also more convenient to use a desktop app
when using a desktop computer. 

unlike sms, nothing is sent over the air, therefore nothing can be
intercepted or hijacked, making it *much* more secure than sms.

Unlikely problem. My apps use a one time SMS 2 Factor Authentication
code. That is they use the code to certify the device ONCE. After that
there is only my password required to access a sensitive app on that
device. If bad guys know my password they can't access my account on a
non-certified device and if they have access to my certified device they
don't know my password.

> unlike sms, nothing is sent over the air, therefore nothing can be

Since the 2FA SMS code is only sent ONCE per device it's very unlikely
that bad guys will get it. And even if they do how would they use it?
The banking SMS code to certify my phone was sent over two years ago...

> making it *much* more secure than sms.

Sometimes too much security is a PITA...

hijack your phone and game over. log in with a new device, new code is
sent to them, not you, and they're in.

except that totp is both more secure *and* less of a pain.

u2f, on the other hand, is a lot more secure, but also a lot more of a
pain. some things require that. most do not.

So the perps have BOTH my device in their possession AND know ALL my
passwords from ALL my apps from a separate data breach? I give that many
millions to one. Better chance of getting hit by a truck today...

Not so easy these days. But still useless without passwords.

that helps, but is not required. there is sufficient information about
people to pretend to be the target and pwn all sorts of stuff. 

not only are data breaches becoming more common, but people voluntarily
give out key information on various social media sites or other venues.
they usually give real answers to the insecurity questions, which is
almost always public information, including mother's maiden name, first
car that they owned, etc. 

and sometimes all that's needed is just a phone number:
<https://www.zdnet.com/article/tmobile-bug-let-anyone-see-any-customers-
account-details/>
  A bug in T-Mobile's website let anyone access the personal account
  details of any customer with just their cell phone number.
...
  The returned data included a customer's full name, postal address,
  billing account number, and in some cases information about tax
  identification numbers. The data also included customers' account
  information, such as if a bill is past-due or if the customer had
  their service suspended.
  The data also included references to account PINs used by customers
  as a security question when contacting phone support. Anyone could
  use that information to hijack accounts.

I use a formula that INTERMINGLES certain letters of the site/apps name 
(for example first + third + last 2) with a memorized number/character 
combination. The sensitive sites have an extra pin inserted. Looks like 
gibberish, good for exercising the old memory, and no password lists 
laying around.

Ok password manager users, I can see you squirming...GO

I thought insecurity questions dumb too. I always used nonsense answers 
and just saved them. What was the make of your first car: Donkey...

In recent years I've not been asked those questions. The sites that used 
to use that system now rely on the (infamous?) semi-2FA we've been 
discussing.

When I recently froze my three credit bureau accounts online they asked 
verification questions like what year my house was built? And what was 
the prefix of my previous home phone number? Those were not prearranged 
and apparently obtained from my account.

that's a very good idea.

unfortunately, that doesn't always work. 

some places validate the answers, so if you put in something
nonsensical, it will reject it, especially if it's not an actual word
(i.e, a generated passphrase).

one bank i know of had a 4 character minimum for any answer, which
means kia, bmw, vw, mg would be rejected. 

some places even have a preselected list of answers, such as what date
of the month was your mother born, with 8 possible choices in a popup
menu, one of which is the one you chose when signing up. instead of 31
possible answers, it's now 8.

2fa normally replaces the insecurity questions.

that's all public information.
