I think this is the very first time I am coming across someone advising against using Google authenticator , why exactly is good authenticator not good, I personally have been using it for as far as I can remember, maybe since 3 or 4 years ago, I've never encountered any issue of any kind, so I am very curious to know exactly why you are advising against using google authenticator, and what other better authenticators do you recommend.?.
Well, it's not that I advise against it, it's just that there are others that are better, and yes, of course, it can be, in terms of security, things can progress a lot and we haven't realized it , personally I've always used 2FA, but let's remember the hack that was done to Binance, where all the 2FA were violated and that's how they managed to do the big robbery , it's interesting to know that there are always good options to learn and apply as security.

I want to chime in here. How can i avoid google 2fa when every site uses exclusively that?
There are some phone based options but those are not safe at all. And i never ever heard any google 2fA hacks on Binance, only 2FA sim swaps which have nothing to fo with google 2fa. But if you have more information i would like to hear about this.
