Unpopular opinion, even though it's not as secure as other methods, I'd still prefer it for many of my logins where the data is not super sensitive to me.
It's easy, needs no additional hardware or app, and works on a simple b/w phones as well with text functionality.

SMS works for majority of people, without a hassle, any additional steps and research from their side.
