This is widely known and IMO a very good argument to use a different TOTP/2FA app than Google Authenticator. There's plenty out.
Personally I use Bitwarden pro, which lets you add TOTP keys directly to the account you're using it for, integrating it into the login-process. Very smooth.
And it sync/backs up across all my devices.
