I use Authy on mobile and have for years. When they gonna discontinue that?

Aegis is a good alternative. Took a while to do the transfer as they don’t allow export of the tokens.

Made the switch to Aegis a little while back. I like it a lot.

Twilio is under a lot of pressure from shareholders eager for more profit (CEO was just pushed out), so I figure this is just the start of a long wave of enshittification. I switched to Authenticator Pro (Android), which is much better in every way. Can backup between devices, has WearOS support, and a proper dark mode. I’d use bitwarden, but I hesitate to keep my TOTP keys in same place as my passwords

I didn’t even realize they had a desktop app. I’ve been using the mobile app for a few years. I was just thinking about installing the mobile app in my WSA install, since it just didn’t even occur to me that there was a desktop version. I guess now it doesn’t matter either way.
