If you are looking to save costs and are not yet ready to acquire P1/P2 licenses then there is still a way to use hardware token MFA.

Unlike pre-programmed tokens these can act as a direct 1 for 1 replacement for TOTP authentication apps (such as google authenticator), and therefore this is a viable option if you want a hardware solution for your MFA.
