Well, thanks a lot. I didn't know there were other solutions besides the google one.
I'm closing this topic.

You don't necessarily have to use Google's app for 2FA. You can use Authy instead. I find it to be much better since it allows you to take backups of yours keys.
Authy?
Never heard of it.
Is it supported by Bitfinex? They only talk about google.
I don't know about Authy, but i've used winAuth in the past, and it worked like a charm to generate codes for google's 2FA Authentication

Bitfinex no longer supports SMS for confirmations, which I've been using for years. I hate google and I haven't used any google software for years, so I have no choice but to buy a Fido key, but I don't know where to find one, and I certainly won't get one today!

There used to be 3 ways to validate a withdrawal on Bitfinex.
SMS verification.
With a physical USB key U2F.
With google authenticator 2FA.

It means that for the coming days, I cannot withdraw any coin from my Bitfinex account!
What was wrong with SMS validation?
I was very happy with that.
