I recently migrated all of my 2FA logins to Raivo [0]. It's iOS-only but open source and very nicely built. The key feature that made me switch is that it can export the 2FA tokens as a backup.
I got worried when I started thinking about this scenario, and realized Google Authenticator offers no way to back up the tokens. The only way out is to transfer to a new device using a QR code. They pretty much lock you in to using Google Authenticator.
And, crucially, backing up the phone DOESN'T SAVE THE TOKENS.
I almost learned this the hard way when I got a new phone, restored from backup, and right before I wiped my old phone I decided on a lark to check that Google Authenticator was working on the new one. The app was there, but the tokens were not.
