Google now offers "Google prompt" which sends a push notification to your phone through the google app. How secure is this method?

Much better than SMS, but not as good as a security key, because if you can fool someone into logging in to an impostor site, you can get their email account.

It would be a reasonable backup in place of (or in addition to) Google Authenticator.
