I stopped other 3rd party authenticator apps I kept using Google Authenticator which doesn't ask for a phone number or email you can use it without them just make sure you separately save your backup codes to a safe place so that you can use them in other app or use it for recovery purposes.
I thought Google authenticator is encouraging online backup. That has been the reason I do not like it.

Authy is not the best authenticator since before their data always got breached and it isn't safe anymore to use in any exchange accounts.

I will prefer not to use any authenticator that encourages online backup like Authy like I have said before. The authenticator is as bad as Google authenticator which is also encouraging users data backup.
