And this is why smart people don't use text message to factor authentication, if at all possible. App based OTP is much safer

And yubikey

Exactly. I don't have a physical key because I would want one that has open source hardware and software.

I believe Solokey is a brand that makes open source hardware keys.

Edit: they might only be fido 2 level 1 and not level 2 like yubikey

Edit 2: apparently there's also openkey and nitrokey so those are some more options for you.

Or at least be held liable for any losses.
