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.

Google Authenticator is the only good thing they ever made :p

Everyone has such strong feelings about 2FA apps, I love it here.

IMO, any dedicated service/app is better than SMS, and self-custody 2FS is better than centralized.

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
