What 2FA app you recommend?

Aegis, even if some services won’t support it you’re better off not supporting those services.

Las time I checked those that require a Microsoft or other propietary authenticator app that isn’t Google’s. They would force you to first use that propietary app and later export to Aegis. Correct me if I’m wrong, of course.

Just checked, you’re right about Google. Microsoft does allow you to use any app though. It’s funny that the “EEE” Microsoft is less anti-user than the “Don’t be evil” Google. But anyway, seeing how Google locks it down, I’m sure there must be others too. So you’re right

For Android, Aegis. You can get it it on Play, on one of the numerous *-Droid sources or straight from GitHub with Obtanium.

Simple to use, open source, does encrypted exports which I regularly backup (along with Bitwarden and SimpleNotes exports) to one of these (Amazon link). It’s perfect for me.

Moved to Raivo earlier this year and it’s great. Unfortunately it was just sold to a private company, so I’m looking for alternatives. From the replies here, might try 2FAs

Just started migrating to 2FAS from Raivo and Authy. So far so good.

I’ve been happy with andOTP on Android.

It’s good. Just keep in mind that it hasn’t been updated in a while…

I hadn’t even noticed. With all the mentions of Aegis it looks like I was behind the times. Aegis was able to import my andOTP entries so I’ll give it a try.
