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!

    I just use a keepass vault and KeePassium (Strongbox is also great) after deciding I don’t trust Authy.

    Biggest advantage over Authy for me is that I control the data and that the solution is open source.

    Vault is synced locally with syncthing but a vault on a cloud drive requiring a key file that is local is also a good option.

    Backups are easy. KeePassXC can be used on the desktop for totp.

    Vault is not kept with my password vault.
