Actually, there is always the possibility of out-of-band authentication.

Here is a scenary I've encountered before:

1) You get to the login screen
2) The login screen will give you a code
3) You get the phone, dial a number, and enter the code
   provided, along with some other information
4) The system authenticates you out of band
5) You simply click "continue" on the login screen

There are other possible scenaries, of course, but this is just
one I've seen once.
