Can the library set up Google authenticator codes for all of their emails and look after the authenticator codes on behalf of their users?

Or is SMS the only possible second factor authentication method?



No. This suggestion is, I'm sorry, utterly ridiculous. Even if it were possible---which it isn't due to the fact that many patrons have their emails long before they come to the library---but it would amount to get another public subsidy of a private mega corporation in the way of free tech support and data storage. Not to mention the security concerns, though to be honest I think that's secondary in the face of losing access to housing and benefits.
