Said about Authenticator Extension as an alternative
Easy, Open Source and available via Browser Addon. You can even scan the QR Code with a screenshot. BEST 2FA!!!
It is one of the best 2FA alternatives that can be used on a PC. Authy is doing this on mobile because it does not have mobile support. On the PC, the Authenticator is the best option. Cloud support, encrypted backup, and a clipboard have features such as copying. There is also an automatic filling option for 2FA fields, but in some cases, it fills information on other fields.
Free, open source, and a browser extension for multiple browsers so you can use it on any platform? Hell yes.
Also it's super simple. It just does what it says on the box, no extra crap you don't want.
