The Best Two-Factor Authentication App? (iOS) - eviltoast

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!

    privacyguides recommends Raivo OTP, see https://www.privacyguides.org/en/multi-factor-authentication/

    Raivo OTP is a native, lightweight and secure time-based (TOTP) & counter-based (HOTP) password client for iOS. Raivo OTP offers optional iCloud backup & sync. Raivo OTP is also available for macOS in the form of a status bar application, however the Mac app does not work independently of the iOS app.

    Its Github repo is at https://github.com/raivo-otp

      That looks great! Is there any chance to migrate my existing Google Authenticator OTPs to Raivo? Seems like there is no way to export as zip from Google Authenticator, only QR Code that Raivo tells me isn’t valid.
