Yep! Sorry for unsolicited acronym, I realize that’s a really annoying thing to get in reply comments.
Any time an app tells you to “use Google authenticator” you can use any authenticator. That QR code they give you to scan for setup can be read by lots of apps. I personally like authy, and it is a very easy cross platform switch when you bounce from android to iPhone or whatever. Keep copies of your backup passwords tho! No matter which app you choose, either print them out or put them in a password manager or whatever Very Secure Method you like.
That being said if you’re happy with your setup that’s awesome and no need to fix what ain’t bugging ya.
