What 2fa Authenticator should I use? (self.asklemmy)

With bitwarden changing to at least email auth required, I'm one of those that stores my email creds there. I don't want to risk losing my email so it seems I need to use an Authenticator. For work, I have microsoft auth but that makes me want to die a little.

EDIT: I appreciate you all, thank you.

I use LastPass authenticator for 2fa (note, I do not store any passwords in LastPass)

This way the authenticator accounts sync to my LastPass account and make device migration a breeze, I simply just sign into LastPass and then I can use authenticator immediately on the new device.

You could also use Microsoft authenticator (again with no passwords saved) to achieve the same thing.

I just didn't want to bother with exporting and importing 2fa accounts when getting a new phone. Or worse, if my phone fails unexpectedly I don't want to be unable to generate codes.
