What’s your prefer two-factor authentication app for iOS?

I’m looking for an app that offers the best combination of platform compatibility (preferably available on Mac OS, iPad OS, and iOS), security, usability, and reliability.

It would be great if the app is open source and has a backup feature as well.

I came across a recent Wirecutter article from The New York Timesthat recommends Cisco DUO Mobile as the top choice, followed by Authy and Google Authenticator.

I would greatly appreciate your insights and security perspectives.

Thank you

    Never had trouble with Authy. Use it on iOS and android, and it’s straightforward and reliable, including when switching/setting up new devices.

    That being said, no app can save you if you don’t have paper backups of those we codes. Stash em in your safe.
