The 2FA code you need to get from the phone app to log in on a desktop. It isn't 2005 any more.

Apparently I live in 2005 then? I do 2FA with the same chip+pin method that I use to pay in the store. Works in any browser

Highly location dependent. This is more true in Europe than in America.

my bank (and others) doesn't require the 2f to be a smartphone

Right, 2FA. My bank wants me to log in to my phone app and then sends an SMS to the same phone to confirm the app transaction. It's super-secure.
