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 use the totp generator included in Bitwarden. It would be more secure to have codes and passwords in different apps, but in Bitwardens case I don’t have a too bad feeling about it.

    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.

    The built in one in Settings > Passwords. Automatically autofills in the field. Passkeys are the only thing that’s easier.

      I use tofu too

      Just so you know it’s also an iOS / iPadOS/ Mac system feature if you use safari no need for an app. Just open the password manager and add the otp code. Syncs with iCloud on all your devices.

        Ah didn’t know that. The phone is the only Apple device I use so there’s probably a heap of tips and tricks I’m in the dark about.

    Native iOS auth/OTP Integration in passwords. No need for an additional app. It’s backed up in iCloud via keychain.
