And for authenticators that do not allow to export the secret, while your authenticator is not lost yet, add another authenticator: and during registration, save the QR code.

There is no option to add another authenticator app at https://myaccount.google.com/security (desktop UI). I think the only feasible option is to first disable 2FA and then re-enable it.

Seriously, Google?

It's time to de-google. Seriously. Now it's from self-preservation POV, not a political POV.
