But even then, the iPod is better and has more songs and way way way more playlists.

I don't even like to send text messages. I think that's for children or childish adults.

I would pay big money for a Nokia 6162 that works.
that's the thing, MFA authentication cannot be done on the laptop where you need the authentication to happen.

It must happen via an alternative route.. Sure Could be email.. but that's the worst kind of MFA to have because it's typically already open and authenticated for convenience..

hence MFA via token app or SMS

MS office 365 does have MFA via call authentication, eg to authenticate they call your phone and you have to answer it, press #
But again it's not ideal, since most phones can be answered from the locked screen, again convenience
