Hi,

e.g.  how do students authenticate with no access to a cell phone app, text etc. Can inmate students have tokens?

This really varies with the MFA system in place: some have "scratch
codes" or "backup codes" generated when you setup the system that can
be used exactly in that kind of situation (when you don't have your
phone around).

The other solution, probably more complex, would be to use hardware
tokens.
