I'm not going to argue too much, but I'd say that someone who's looking for
solution to use with git-send-email is *likely* going to have access to a
smartphone. :)

I do have a smartphone. Due to the battery life of smartphones I don't
have access to it most of the time.

As a note, you wouldn't need to use it "all the time" -- just for the initial
login via the browser. Once it's done and you set up the app passwords for
SMTP/IMAP access, you would rarely ever need to access the TOTP token again.

I also avoid doing anything security sensitive on the smartphone. They
tend to run old vulnerable software because smarphonde vendors aren't
agile with fixes, and they are a rewarding target for hackers.

Given that your smartphone and our PC are typically connected to the
same network it is not difficult to correlate the two.
