Replying to everyone who said to use Google Authenticator. I in fact did fall for the devious wording that implied no other Auth app would work but never fear, even that is not an option for my account now that I'm checking. The only available options are physical security keys (which I lack), phone numbers (which I won't disclose), and tapping a notification on an Android phone (which ties me even more into the Google ecosystem and I'd rather not pick). I'll appreciate any comments if anyone knows how to get a TOTP going with Authy for Gmail, don't assume I know everything and I'm willfully ignoring it!

The "2-step verification" finally leads to the point where phone number is asked for enabling SMS based verification. Only after enabling SMS based verification it is possible to enable Authenticator App (TOTP) or some other options. At least I couldn't find other way to enable TOTP i.e. first SMS.
