The Best Two-Factor Authentication App? (iOS)

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 6 points – 1 years ago

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!

Authy works well for me

Authy is very concerning lately https://www.androidpolice.com/authy-hacked-what-to-know/

the security team found out that only 93 Authy users out of 75 million were affected

Also this was a social engineering attack and if you’re syncing your 2fa seeds then you should be encrypting them with a secret. Cracking that should take years if not more.
