What authenticator app do you use? How do you backup? Any open source self hosted options?

I use bitwarden and only put totp codes in it for “low risk” uses. Like say…a Reddit account.

Thinks like email accounts or ones associated to bank etc I keep in google Authenticator (not synced to the cloud)

I also keep a spare phone with the google auth totp codes loaded in case I lose my phone.

At the service level I also keep backup codes or use a yubikey when possible. So even MFA at the account level often has options, even if it’s “my phone is across the room and I’m too lazy, backup code time”
