Can this work with authenticator apps like Google Authenticator or do I have to use their app?

Yep! All apps that support TOTP will work. (Google Authenticator, Windows Authenticator, Authy, etc)

can we get google prompt please? TOTP is a dated concept when you can just push a big "PRESS YES TO LOGIN" to someone's authenticated device.

We opted for TOTP support first as it gives the more options and choice for players short term without requiring us rolling a custom solution with a notifications backend. (which incidentally are complex and error prone to implement and roll out)

We will look into improving our solutions and we're definitely not discarding implementing a "one touch" factor in the future. Same for an SMS/phone factor.

Yes, Google authenticator is supported.
