Mark, look into Yubikey as a 2nd factor.[1] it's a two step process,
add your phone to set up second factor and then add Yubikey token as
the preferred 2nd factor. If you use a phone to check on your Google
account, add the Google Authentication as an alternative. (and print
out a sheet of secret keys just for emergencies)
