BTW, I'm not going to post any issues anymore on
https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android because I don't want to use Google neither my mobile phone for two-factor authentication.
I'm quite sure I'm not the only one in this case, so please find another way for 2FA or take the reports of this forum into account!
I know, that this is a workaround, but it works: I successfully used oathtool in Linux to create a 6 digit PIN from the long code on the 2FA setup page. The whole article about it is here:

At the end, all you need is a command like
oathtool -b --totp 'N3V3R G0nn4 G1v3 Y0u Up' and it generates your PIN. The only problem - it works just for the current session. So after logoff, on the next logon, one have to repeat the PIN generation. But on the bright side: one don't have to install some extra software on the phone or somewhere else.
On Windows, WinAuth should do the trick.
