RBC has MFA via the phone app, it's a simple approval button, no code typing required. they only added this within the last couple of years though, which is way too late for a big bank. I assume all other Canadian banks have similar options.

I see. I have RBC set up where it will text me a code, which I then enter into the app.
Other websites that I usually frequent have something similar. Either they text me a code or they email me after I put in my password. I typically use my phone to access my email for the code. When I access Gmail on the computer, my android phone asks me to click "yes, it's me" before giving me access to Gmail on the computer.
