See Poll options, which of these do you use?
What's your favourite, or most used?
 
Own a second smartphone that never leaves the house and has only ever been connected to the internet to download Google Authenticator. Use it purely as a 2FA device to get codes via Google Authenticator or SMS. Figure it's a good idea in case my actual phone gets broken, lost or stolen so I won't lose access to my accounts.

Microsoft , lastpass, email, sms, whatever the service/apps propose.
 
Authy and Winauth. Authy cause it has a cloud backup so if my phone dies i don't lose my 2FA's.
 
Authy. I find it very good. It's a secure way to have multiple backed up devices.
 
I use Authy for anything else and Google Authenticator for gmail accounts.
 
Hello,
I'm mainly using Google Authenticator for everything, except I'm using Lastpass authenticator for Lastpass. Because I like the interactive notification.
 
I also use YubiKeys/YubiKey Authenticator. I have 3 of them, one is just a simple FIDO U2F, one classic and one with NFC. From the latter two, one is the backup of the other. If I lose both of these, well... I'm screwed :D
I feel better with my 2FA accounts being on the ground rather than in the cloud, passwords are enough if stored up there :P
 
I carried a yubikey with me on my key chain for a few years and used it like 2 times so I just decided to use google auth for everything and get rid of the extra key chain junk
