Apparently at least some, as Richard pointed out below.
The government and bank ones can't, although in the case of my bank I also don't really want to

Both MS and Google authenticators can be replaced with Authy[^], which has the added advantage that you can run it on multiple devices at the same time.
That means I can scan the QR code on my phone to add the account, but I don't have to reach for my phone every time I want to log in. And I don't have to panic when changing phones either.

All that seemed to be with the assumption of a SIM in the mix - well I use my land-lines for the places that give me that option. And not one of them accesses my cell phone.
Authentication:
Phone: 6-8 digits, ad hoc, so I'd have to be pretty damn directly monitored, 24/7 for them to even have a chance at it.
EMail: variations from 6 digits to all sorts of thing. US Treasury uses that with a string of mixed characters.
Text: I don't ever do that with anyone or anything = problem solved.
Unless one's phone is bugged, PC infested, and a deliberate target for someone, it's not likely they'll get through. Remember - a recording of the call's number is basically useless except for when it's just given.
Even when that horrid day comes and I must submit myself to the tyranny of a "smart phone", I doubt I'd use it for anything financial. I'd consider it vulnerable and dirty at all times. Just like a spare laptop I have which I consider insecure and won't even log into Yahoo Mail with it.
Security of all of these things will always come down to the same bottleneck: the users.

Unless the financial institution forces you to do so. There is some that they have the moved the tan-generator as an "Secure-App" and don't offer any other alternative for you to do the things via website, the only alternative you have to do money movements is via call-center with the phone-pin and to call your post / reports is to let them print them and send it to you as paper paying 50 cents / each.

That's something I am going to do too. I am buying a new PC and my current one will be the "surf the internet" for everything where you don't need to login.

I didn't raise my progeny in anything like a normal manner (surprise !).
Not scared of the dark.
Loved math. No TV limits for things like nature shows.
Were absolutely dying to learn to read by kindergarten.
And doing homework was a 'given'.
Each got their own outings, separately, on a rotating basis.
The very first tantrum, by the eldest, got the following out of me: "Let me know if you turn blue - I'd like to watch" and I moved on. Roughly, the last tantrum and the siblings seemed to pick up on it.
Worked great for 2 of 3. Third did well with everyone - until she got home.

Parents limiting watching nature shows don't have a clue
We had borrowed several National Geographic videos at the library, enjoying them a lot. Then we discovered in the childrens' department that NG also has a "Kids" series of nature shows. The photography was at the same level as for the "serious" movies, but overlayed with "funny" animations of comic-strip like figures with high-pitched voices pointing and laughing hysterically, and of course, lots of "joyful" music rather than the nature sounds. We were not halfway through the first one before the girl exclaimed: "Couldn't we rather find something decent, daddy?"
We did watch the NG Kids movies we had taken home, but for later, we stuck to the "decent" ones.

Correct - you are up Monday! 
I thought "a nice gentle end to the week", and I liked it.

I've been on a CERN tour - incredible place. And that was long before they build the LHC - I used to have a girlfriend who worked there, so I visited regularly.

Wow, this sounds awesome. Can you tour as a simple visitor, or are ... special bounds needed ?
/edit: Actually, if the prizes are tours, I think it probably answers my question.

Depends on how fast you are moving. Close to c you don't even need a passport!

Anyone who has time to whip up an app that's cross-architecture and uses oneAPI is good to go for this challenge. It doesn't need to be rocket science.
I'm going to have a go at using DevCloud and oneAPI to train some AI models we have planned for some of our nefarious schemes. Not sure if it'll work but there's some serious hardware they are letting everyone use so we're going to take advantage of it.
cheers

I told my manager this morning that it's POETS day today but I only managed to get out about 20 minutes earlier. Oh well.
On the plus side, Thursday/Fridays I work from from home so I've saved an over an hours commute.
Used that time to do the lawns which gives me a couple of hours back on the weekend.
Now I'm calling its beer o'clock.

Poets day .. that should inspire Bill.

And what makes it [XYZ] Day? There's no presidential proclamation, there's no organization that keeps track of these and there's no official registry for it. I'm free to make up my own day (I say today's Curmudgeon Day) and it's just as valid a claim as yours.
