Start by not using Google Authenticator. It's outdated and has security vulnerabilities allowing malicious apps to extract your code. And it's impossible to backup without a rooted device. Anything that supports "Google Authenticator" really means any TOTP app is supprted, so for example andOTP on Android may be a good choice. Or you can use Authy or 1Password if you trust them.
- mxschumacher 6y agothank you for the pointer to andOTP - I need to migrate away from SMS based 2FA - then away from Google Authenticator - and probably also from LastPass to Bitwarden

- notechback 6y agoI had Google authenticator as 2FA. Phone broke and I must have typo while doing a regular password change - now I have no way to again log into my account as i can't provide the 2FA and none of the other options work (providing old contact emails, phone code, backup email, ... All doesn't matter just because I don't have the authenticator).
