    Yes you’re right, it’s buried. You have to choose the Google Authenticator option but they don’t say it also works with other authenticator apps.

      I’ve never found a single place that tells you that Google Authenticator works with other authenticator apps. They always just say Google Authenticator. And I’ve learned that Google Authenticator is the equivalent of Kleenex, which is a brand of tissue. It doesn’t matter that it’s a branded tissue. A tissue is a tissue. When I see Google Authenticator anywhere now, I immediately know that it means TOTP application.
