Yes. It’s horrible. And half the services have something broken with password resets too.

Not to mention if you have 2FA set up with multiple ways or no access to the old device...
I made this mistake with Google Authenticator… switched to Authy shortly after
Authy defeats the purpose of offline 2FA.
What is Authy?
Authy is an authentication app owned by Twilio that performs a similar function to Google or Microsoft Authenticator.
Google Authenticator is hot garbage.
What do you dislike about it?
Last time I used it, I nearly hosed my entire 2FA setup because my accounts didn't transfer to my new phone. Fortunately, I hadn't wiped the old one yet. Authy doesn't have this problem.
Authy is a Shitcoin.
And they don’t allow you to export. I switched over to Raivo.
I’ve setup a few passkeys on iOS and is extremely easy to use but that’s if you trust iCloud Keychain. Also using advanced data protection on iCloud and disabled access to iCloud.com. You can use a recovery key or a recovery contact. #plebchain
Yes
Are you referring to their propriety 2FA (which I would agree) or their TOTP support? If the latter, can you elaborate?
Thoughts on Bitwarden having passwords and 2FA in the same app? UX is great and it's all connected to my home server.
I’ve heard. I use GA currently too 😅
You can still use Google Authenticator on multiple devices. Like your phone and a backup tablet for example.
When you are shown a QR code you can scan it using multiple devices. Both devices will generate the same codes.
I agree with #[3] is a shitcoin.
They will even “highjack” your email and phone number to automatically enroll you for 2FA on participating sites and force you to use them. 🙅🏻♂️
