TOTP does not require a smartphone.
there's software TOTP clients that can be run on your desktop, and i'm
also seeing TOTP support baked into some password managers. that
clearly isn't as secure as the second factor implemented on a second
device, however desktop TOTP does provide better security than
password-only authentication.
if you care about security and shun smartphones there are also plenty of
"one time password token" hardware devices that perform the same
function. i have a yubikey for my 2fa needs, mostly because it's more
convenient than reaching for my phone.

I went to the 2FA preference on BMO. For me, the only authentication
option was TOTP that requires a smartphone. I do not have a smartphone
like Mark.
How can I continue to contribute after we are forced to use Phabricator?
Mozilla no longer wants volunteer contributors?

Right, I should have mentioned that. We are working right now on enforcing
MFA for Phabricator via BMO. See
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1393950. Should go out next
week.

We were hesitant to advertise this too widely in order not to create
any confusion around the Quantum release, but now that that has
settled down I am told it should be fine for anyone to start using
it. The instance is at https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/
and there are docs at
https://moz-conduit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/phabricator-user.html.
I’ve been wanting to try out the new review tool, but the sign up
steps in the documentation fails to mention two-factor authentication.
The only option is ‘Mobile Phone App (TOTP)’ and if you, like me,
don’t have a smartphone it is seemingly impossible to create an
account.
I would’ve thought it would delegate the MFA bit to Bugzilla, or
am I doing something wrong?
