You can put FIDO creds on a 20 dollar hardware token. It's just that not everyone has that, so you can use your phone too if you want.

... especially since I choose to no longer have a phone/tracking device.

Not just a phone, an Android Phone! The login popup thingy (Google Prompts) is not available for any other mobile OS but for Android :(

I use iOS devices and I get a login prompt using the YouTube for iOS app.
