If you haven't got a smart phone, you can use a program for your PC. A list of programs can be found here. I used MOS Authenticator on Windows 7 and had no problems.

If anyone has an investment worth more than $1000 I urge them to purchase a cheap used smartphone (costs like $50 on ebay) and wipe it before installing authenticator. Using a PC-based program is barely better than going without 2FA because if your password is stolen using a keylogger or trojan then your 2FA is also at risk. The whole point of 2FA is to have another device because then if your computer is compromised it's highly unlikely they also got your phone.

Yea it does.  It shocks me someone can be interested in BTC and have BTC denominated assets and not own a smartphone.

Yes, but if they have access to your computer they can probably access the 2 factor codes as well (could steal the secret and generate their own even). Using a second device that you are confident is not compromised is the most important thing. You could use a laptop that you don't connect to the internet to generate the codes, for example. If you're signing in on the same computer that you are generating codes on though you're getting more of an illusion of security than anything.

I don't have use for one at the moment. They are too expensive and I don't talk to people on the phone. I think they are useless pieces of junk that most people wouldn't have if we didn't have a fake debt-based economy. 90% of the people who have them have no reason to own them and cannot use the processing power for anything productive. Anyway...

I guess one could always put it on another computer, right?

oh man .... BITFUNDER ACTM and BTCT ACTM difference of 30%. . . .

It would be nice if one could get shares from BitFunder to BTCT.

[VolanicEruptor]

Use the smartphone with 2FA to buy your shares and then put it away in a bank security box.  Very inconvenient but we're all long term investors here right

I have no need for a smart phone. I don't even really have a need for a mobile phone as I'm never mobile.

I've also been programming, building, troubleshooting and using computers for at least 2 decades now and I'm not worried that my computer or accounts may be compromised. I'm confident that my ability and experience will ensure my safety. I've only ever had my PC infected once and that was in the Windows 95 days when I'd first got online.

You are making the #1 mistake right now -- you're talking about it.  You just told the world that, and now somebody could theoretically target you..

Like I said I'm not worried. I'm confident in my abilities and experience to protect myself. Someone would most certainly need physical access and my lifestyle pretty much rules that out.

I somehow just pictured you living in a cave somewhere with a hardline connection to the internet.

Also, you don't need a smartphone for 2FA. An old iPod Touch running IOS 5 or later for $30 can handle running the Google Authenticator app, for example. Just take a look on eBay.

It's not cockiness. For the past 27 years, I've lived and breathed computers. I learned to program on a ZX Spectrum at the age of 7. I'm not your average user. That's not a boast, that's just the reality of who I am.

These smart devices are good ideas I guess. Also good for trading coins in person. I am looking into getting something inexpensive. It would be nice to have something "open" that can run linux and inexpensive (older model) - any suggestions. this is off-topic I guess. PM me if suggestions.

To be honest, that probably wouldn't even bother me.
