Are there other ways of two-factor authentication?
Many sites and web services offer the use of two-factor authentication (sms) to better secure user accounts.
On the one hand, this is good. But on the other hand, a person "burns" his phone number.
Even if you are not a criminal, it still becomes uncomfortable that someone can very easily figure you out by your phone number.
Are there other ways to two-factor authentication on sites and services other than using sms?
It seems that there are special applications for this. Or do they also involve a phone number?

The task of two-factor authorization is to protect authorization data from interception. There is a division into 2 independent data transmission channels to prevent possible interception on a single channel.
You can do this:
1. After registration, an HTML page with a JS code (formula) containing a PIN generation formula (based on timestamp, userid, etc.) arrives in the mail. This HTML file can be saved anywhere on any device, preferably without internet access.
At the request of the user, it is possible to bind to subnets or country when issuing a PIN code.
2. Run HTML-ku and get a PIN-code on the screen.
3. Enter it in the field: "PIN".

You can have keys.
But it's inconvenient.
There are special devices with one-time passwords.
But they cost money.
Etc.
You can invent anything.
It's just not very convenient.
