Google Authenticator needed for Electrum BTC wallet - App stopped working

[LoyceV]

do you think I can try once to see if it's the right seed

Yes. You'll know soon enough if it's the correct seed.

For what it's worth: I've used Electrum's appimage on Linux for years.

Yeah, I intend to run Electrum from my Debian 12 daily driver, which I believe is pretty secure.
I wish I could just use apt to get it on Linux, but apparently it's an appimage. I'll make sure it's the right URL (https://electrum.org/), spend the UTXOs into an exchange address and then convert into fiat immediately.

All is well with your process, I will just also ask you to verify the image that you get from the website to make sure that you got the real one and not some compromised one. The other mentioned steps in this thread should guide you to your coins considering you do the right (albeit slight) modifications.

(Rather late) UPDATE: I was able to successfully ACCESS my funds!
Thanks guys, I can't thank you enough!

I was able to access the funds through the seed and then disable 2FA and send the money to an exchange.

EDIT: Oh, I also finished syncing my Bitcoin Core wallet. I highly doubt this is the case, but is there a way to see if this wallet has 2FA enabled too?

Bitcoin Core doesn't offer 2FA.

Thanks!

That means I'm free! Now hopefully my PC doesn't get infected with a nasty virus or something...lol

See my earlier post on offline signing. There's no need to risk anything.

A decent hardware wallet (not speaking of Ledger crap here) is also an option. With always carefully inspecting all transaction details on the hardware wallet's own display before you sign a transaction, you should be pretty safe against potential malware on your computer.

Never omit careful inspection of all transaction details before you sign the transaction, be it with a good hardware wallet of with offline signing with an air-gapped device holding the private keys.
