(replying to myself after some further research...)

Issues for me with Google Authenticator:

1. The cloud backups are not encrypted: https://www.reddit.com/r/cybersecurity_help/comments/1fysqij...

2. There's a strong possibility that if my laptop gets compromised my Google account will be compromised simultaneously.

3. I try (often in vain) to limit my Google exposure because if I lose access to my Google account, it will be hard to get it back due of Google's limited support offerings.
