TL;DR Are there any plans to offer a two-factor authentication solution for people who do not have a mobile device that can make use of Google Authenticator?
Hi. I have a cell phone, but I only use it for emergencies. It is not a modern phone. It does not have an operating system. It does not run apps. It’s a pay-by-the-minute phone, and as such, only costs me about $7 per month to use. It’s perfect for when I need to make a phone call. I’m not interested in getting a more high-tech phone and expensive phone plan just so I can make use of Google Auth. for two-factor account security. Other MMOs I’ve played have offered hardware tokens, which I was happy to order (and pay for) to help keep my account secure.
Are there any options for two-factor auth. for people like me that do not have mobile device that can make use of Google Authenticator?

You can use the Gauth addon for chrome.

It functions just like the google authenticator app on mobile devices except you can run it on the same computer you play GW2 on.
