Folks: Nothing goes into my smartphone except for my phone list. All data (financial, email, everything) is on and stays on my desktop. I treat my phone as a phone and only a phone. In fact since I lost too many of them bouncing out of my bag on my bicycle, I leave my phone on my desk at home a

As a work around, you can create a google voice "virtual number". https://voice.google.com/u/0/voicemail You can then configure this to ring any other number you want. You can then get your SMS notices as email as well as your voice mails. This way you can provide 2 factor authentication without
