Use Authy, 2faone or any other totp tool than google authenticator. Shame on Google, honestly, for not enabling a backup mechanism for that. If you can’t do it right, don’t do it at all.

I use Bitwarden. It's quite enjoyable.
I use AndOTP. But I imagine most people will use use Google Authenticator and not think about backups until it's too late.

(And yep, I found out about Google Authenticator the hard way, trying to transfer from my previous phone!)
