I have a script I can run on any of my machines to generate the OTP code (so I don't need a phone/app).

  > My name is Tom Harris, and I am a resident of Sacramento, California. I have a few questions about your process for responding to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) data access requests:
  >
  >     Would you process a GDPR data access request from me even though I am not a resident of the European Union?
  >     Do you process GDPR data access requests via email, a website, or telephone? If via a website, what is the URL I should go to?
  >     What personal information do I have to submit for you to verify and process a GDPR data access request?
  >     What information do you provide in response to a GDPR data access request?
  >
  > To be clear, I am not submitting a data access request at this time. My questions are about your process for when I do submit a request.
  >
  > Thank you in advance for your answers to these questions. If there is a better contact for processing GDPR requests regarding nymeria.io, I kindly ask that you forward my request to them.
  >
  > I look forward to your reply without undue delay and at most within one month of this email, as required by Article 12 of GDPR.

I run a SaaS product solo, and I receive these message and other similar ones (GDPR requests) every week. Most are generic like this one, but some are out right offensive name calling.

I have no problem following these laws and extended the data/privacy rights to everyone (not just CA or EU residents). I must say though, when people threaten me or resort to name calling I make the process deliberately difficult.

edit

I just scanned my email and I got the same email, with CCPA swapped out for GDPR via a "Tom Harris".

I worked at a medium size software company in New York and our team lead would always say "Why make what you can take?" when referring to finding open source code and running with it, regardless of licensing or anything.
