Interesting - we all took different routes, and got the same result: 4/6.

First lets say I have NO Phone.
Second lets say I link my Phone to my Desk Top Windows 7 Computer.
Third I have started not sharing my phone number with anyone.
Yes it is a pain I bought $500.00 of Milwaukee Power Tools from Home Depot
It was a Internet deal I explained I had NO Phone or Internet
An Hour later and Store Manager I had the deal YES it was a wasted hour
So Why is this Safer?
Apple, Google, and Microsoft team up to support passwordless FIDO logins - The Verge[^]
And How Many of You will give in to this ?
If I am just a crabby old man these days sorry!

I thought it was just me ...

Let me explain...
1. The person does not have a phone. NO PHONE! Got it?
2. They connect the phone (that they do not have) to a Windows 7 desktop computer for no apparent reason.
3. They never give their phone number (that they do not have) to anyone.
4. It hurt but they bought $500 worth of tools from Home Depot.
5. The $500 was a special internet only deal so they badgered the store manger for an hour until the manager caved.
6. They want to know why "this" is safer but don't define "this".
7. They link to an unrelated story about "passwordless" logins for our dogs.
8. They ask how many of us will give in to abandoning our phones, badgering store managers and buying overpriced tools.
9. They apologize for being old and crabby.
See? Clear as mud!!

Wow! You should go into Translation Services. Seriously, freaking amazing! and made me laugh.
Maybe you should do some Comedy routine where you have a Person who stands on stage blathering and you stand to the side & translate. Now that I'd pay to watch for 1 or 2 hours. 
Seriously, made me laugh.

Really did not badger the Store Manager
They just did not know how to deal with a customer who did not have a phone or the internet.
Hence now way to send me promotional e-mails
I do appreciate your humor
Not sure about the passwordless logins for our dogs ? ? ?
Tools are first rate you can borrow my Festool Track Saw anytime

I had the Dog Kaspersky euthanized a long time ago

OK My Bad skip the story about Home Depot
If you follow the link I understand it to implies I need to link my phone to my desktop computer to log on to the desktop computer.
So what happens if I have NO Phone?
And why do I want to give my phone number to Microsoft Google or Apple?

OK, yeah, no, don't do that.
I don't even use a "Microsoft ID" or whatever on my PC.

Tail is wagging dog all over the world now.
Everything is marketing so the best ideas don't rule, the best _marketed_ ideas rule.
2FA sucks, right!
We use Duo[^] at work for 2FA.
Now I hear that Github is going to require 2FA.
If they think I'm going to type in a 6-digit code every time I push code they are crazy!!!
So, maybe GitHub will use Duo.
But think about that. Duo will become the Centralized Password Authority I guess.
The Internet Decentralized. Then, all the companies bought up their share & re-Centralized it. I mean I guess I should laugh?

Yes GitHub is requesting 2FA when I log in
I have no phone number on file so they send me an email 6 digit code
that I can use to complete log in
Thanks for the Duo link

Because I said so
Worked until I was 10
then I asked what if you did not say so?

Yeah mine got wise to it about the same age.
