[Vanity] How Do I Do This?

I have a problem. The idiot morons at Facebook insist that I enable something called Facebook Protect. They've locked my account. They insist on two-factor verification from third parties like Google Verify or Duo.
They want me to get a code, then come back to FB and input it.
These sites are designed to put an app on your phone. I don't have a smartphone (by choice) and I cannot figure out how the heck to get this done on my desktop.

Does anyone know what to do? Do you know a good, reliable tech who can help? I need to be able to access my page.

Facebook is the enemy. Use Truth Social or something else.

You should be able to get the code via a text message. You don’t a smart phone for that. Possibly a voice message too. You may be able to get the code via email too.

You don’t need a smart phone for that.

This is standard for many MFA systems.
Google and download/install Authy. It will provide the information you need for your deskto or laptop.

“Facebook is the enemy. Use Truth Social or something else.”
Better still, tell them to get lost. More than enough opportunity on FR for education/entertainment/angina/acid reflux.

Should be able to use email to get a code and enter. You have email, right?

Look at this as a blessing in disguise. Now is the perfect opportunity to QUIT Fakebook.

You have the option of having the verification code
sent to your email instead of a phone text.

You may need a smartphone to go to the google store and download the FB authenticator app.
When FB wants two factor verification they send a code to the app and you enter it on your laptop and then log in that way. Good luck.
