# Set up 2FA without a smartphone

You can use 2FA without a smartphone. Choose the option that fits you.

| **Option** | **What you need** | **Good to know** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Authenticator app on your computer** | A password manager or desktop app that makes 6-digit codes | Any app that makes 6-digit (TOTP) codes works. Follow Option B in the main article and use the secret key. Tip! Search online for applications such as [https://proton.me/authenticator](https://proton.me/authenticator) or other, that work on your computer. |
| **Security key or built-in biometrics** | A USB security key (for example YubiKey), or Windows Hello, Face ID or Touch ID | See [Passkeys](/v1/docs/passkeys) and the [2FA Gallery & Method Guide](/v1/docs/2fa-gallery-method-guide). |
| **Tablet** | An iPad or Android tablet | Install an authenticator app on the tablet, then follow [the main article](/v1/docs/2fa-enrollment). |

#### Can I use only SMS or email?

No. SMS is only a backup, for when your app does not work. Email codes are not a 2FA option.

#### None of these work for me.

Contact your employer or the administrator of the application. They decide if 2FA is required, and they can tell you other ways to get logged in.
