How does the Google Authenticator compare to the Microsoft Authenticator?

If you only need this for TOTP, you can also use Aegis - no need to get
all other Microsoft related stuff as well which "Authenticator" provides:

Bitwarden also allows storing TOTP to password entries - and there is
even a community server which you can host on your own machine, if you
want:

<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.x8bit.bitwarden>

<https://bitwarden.com/self-hosted-password-manager-on-premises/>

And Vaultwarden is a compapatible open source server for Bitwarden clients:
