  One alternative method to secure your cryptocurrency wallet without using Google Authenticator is to use a hardware wallet.

  If you prefer not to use Google Authenticator, you can also consider using a paper wallet to secure your cryptocurrency. A paper wallet is a physical printout of your wallet's public and private keys. By keeping your keys offline and away from potential online threats, you can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your wallet. However, it's important to store your paper wallet in a safe and secure location to prevent physical theft or damage.

  Another option to enhance wallet security is to enable multi-signature (multi-sig) functionality. Multi-sig requires multiple private keys to authorize a transaction, adding an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access. This feature is supported by many cryptocurrency wallets and can be set up to require multiple devices or multiple individuals to approve transactions.
