andOTP because it's the only one still being developed

honestly, who the fuck cares?

google doesn't backup your codes. If you didn't write it down, then you're fucked.

Authy is best.

I use Google Authenticator. I used to use FreeOTP but then one day it went fucking apeshit and the app would crash on load. As a result I lost access to a few things. I then switched to the Google app, never had an issue. I'm personally not a fan of Google, but I can't deny its reliability.

WinAuth

use this instead anons
freeotp.github.io/
free as in freedom

Authy. Don’t fuck around. Google Authenticator is shit and you’re fucked if anything happens. Authy has a recovery. Takes a week but you won’t be locked out if you do something stupid.

That one
That’s kind of the point. I don’t want the code to exist anywhere outside my control.
Also implying google doesn’t secretly record everything.

I use a sundial and calculate the algorithm manually

fuck trusting a smartphone

WinAuth fan here - good desktop solution.

For mobile I use google auth.

Thanks a lot for this tip user!

Fuck. That does make me want to stop using 2FA with Authenticator, but without 2FA, it sucks too.
What do?

>Takes a week
I have never been in that situation. Why a week?

Just write it down. If you're scared about loosing it or it getting stolen either use a safety deposit box or....
>Go to your personal library or book stack
(you do read, right user?)
>grab a book
>grab and invisible ink(uv ink) pen
>flip the book open to a page you can remember
>write the code down on that page
>all you need to remember is the book and page number

Disable and re-enable 2FA on the sites you use it on user!

Make sure to write down/take a screenshot of the QR code/secret key this time

you can print a page of backup codes with google anytime

use google authenticator and then print your codes and put them in a safe deposit box at the bank

Use authy and set it up as backup on an old phone

Deluded authies

Why, is Authy supposed to be bad? I'd rather try it than use a Google product.

So I need to root my shit to use this?
