With a MacBook Air and iPhone it's not too much hassle.

I use Touch ID on the MacBook Air to fill in the username and password, and then I open the 2FA app on my iPhone and tap the code to copy it. The clipboard is synchronised between the MacBook Air and the iPhone in their out-of-box configuration, so I can immediately paste the 2FA code on the MacBook Air by just pressing ⌘+V.

Thanks to this, I log out a lot of the time.

However, to make it even more friction-less I am also going to make a simple little 2FA app myself for the MacBook Air, where I just glue together a couple of libraries and make it more effortless than having to touch the phone at all.
