If you use a good 2FA app instead of Google Authenticator (yes, they can be used interchangably) you can use it on desktop and copy the OTPs to your clipboard. I personally use Authy, but others compatible with GA exist as well.

Also, 2FA is optional almost everywhere, but if you decide to not enable it, don't act surprised if your accounts get taken over. These days a password just isn't enough.

Security and convenience are just mutually exclusive and I don't expect mankind to ever find a way around that fact.
