2FA alternatives for banks that insist on texting?

I’m looking for ways to do 2FA authentication to banks, etc. that does not require me to turn my phone on. Many of them seem to require SMS to a phone, not, e.g. a Google Voice #. Would prefer not to move accounts. Alternatives?

I’m increasingly getting annoyed at having to turn my phone on at all. It’s just an attention suck.
