How to resolve?

Package 'GoogleAuthenticator 1.2.1' was restored using '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1, .NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.1, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2, .NETFramework,Version=v4.8' instead of the project target framework '.NETCoreApp,Version=v2.1'. This package may not be fully compatible with your project.

But I don't want to upgrade to latest version (C#)

The version of the nugget package you're using is incompatible with .NET Core 2.1.

However, Visual Studio is trying to use the available target .NET frameworks, which may not be compatible with your target framework as stated. Since you don't want to upgrade, it should compile successfully even with the warnings but there's no guarantee that the package will work.
