Use a password manager and use a SEPARATE second factor authenticator not tied to the password manager. I personally use Authy (though I think it's been deprecated) and Bitwarden.

I recently got a Google scam call from someone using Google Voice in the bay area (650 number) claiming to be with Google and that an unauthorized device was trying to access my account. Eventually realized they were just trying to get my to unlock my account probably to drain bank accounts.

Same. I don't store my 2FA with my passwords. I also use Authy, I'd like to move to something else but as long as it's working. I was annoyed they got rid of the Mac app.

Same, the desktop app worked great. Probably for the best though, ideally you want to pull your codes from a phone and password from your desktop device.

Yeah, I won't argue that it doesn't make sense security wise. It does.

Absolutely. If you are looking for a new 2FA/TOTP app- Aegis is good, also Proton Authenticator as it's independent of a Proton account.
