Does anybody else have a problem with Apple force-feeding us to factor authentication? I’m not one of those people who always has their phone attached at the hip so what happens when I need to use my iPad and it wants to authenticate me and I don’t have a phone anywhere nearby. How am I supposed to use my product when I can’t “authenticate” myself. There’s got to be a better way.

Your iPad can be set as a trusted device and then you can authenticate from that very device instead of reaching for your phone.
A trusted device is an iOS device or a Mac on which you’ve signed in with your Apple ID using two-factor authentication. It’s a device we know is yours and can be used to verify your identity by displaying a verification code from Apple when you sign in.
