It looks like BitFunder is requiring Google 2FA to transfer your shares.
Yes, you will need an Andriod phone or tablet OR iPhone/iPad OR Blackberry.

You can setup Google Authenticator on multiple devices. Just be sure to scan in your unique QR code on each device. Then you will always be able to sign in with whatever device happens to be closest.
