I need my phone to log into everything...

I always see these posts about ditching smartphones and going back to flip phones that only call and this and that. I assume these people don't use auth apps or phone 2FA. If you don't need them to access work or have a non cellular device just for apps then maybe you can sneak past this. We just nuked a couple of streaming services in order to get HBO again so we could watch the Sopranos. (He watched all of it years ago but I've never seen it.) In order to log into the app on the TV I just have to point my phone at the QR code on the screen and log in from face ID. That type of use case is really helpful when your password is two dozen characters of keyboard vomit that you honestly do not know and the only way to type it in is selecting each letter/item with that on screen keyboard and the D pad of the remote. I like using my phone as the login device for simple stuff like this. For real serious accounts I use auth apps and such. You can use a YubiKey on your laptop or whatever too.…
