The problem that I have with Authenticator Apps, is that they are a usability pain... In order to get the code, I need to abandon my current context, open the app, copy the code, go back and then paste the code.
With an SMS I just need to wait a couple of seconds and the notification comes up. I don't have to abandon the app or switch context.
That's why I always choose SMS over the other 2FA options. It could be less secure but in the bigger context is still adding a second layer of authentication and is far more convenient than using the authenticator apps.

Use autofill, then tap/click the OTP text box and paste in the code. With that said, I'm not sure it's the best idea to store 2FA and passwords in the same system, but it is pretty convenient.
