 Google is deleting Gmail accounts. Here’s how you can save yours in three easy steps:

1.) Set up a ProtonMail account (or something similar)
2.) Use Gmail to send your new email address to your contacts
3.) Stop using Gmail

 Trying out an unheard of authenticator seems risky no? 
 Mandatory! Or switch to ente Auth. 
Yes, it is cloud based, but also #FOSS and secure

 KeePassXC 
 You could selfhost ente.io which includes ente auth. As a bonus you can use ente photos to ditch Google ;) 
 Bitwarden apps includes an authenticator. IIRC Vaultwarden is available in the Start9 app store. 
 Some listed here: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/multi-factor-authentication/

Bitwarden & KeePassXC also have built in 2FA 
 Aegis is great 
 Confirm Aegis is top tier!  
 This is the way 
 In this turn, you can start from deleting Google from your life altogether.
