p.s. There are LOTS of apps that work with 2FA on Mastodon such as Raivo, Aegis and many others. (They are technically known as "TOTP apps" or "authenticators")

Maybe people can recommend good 2FA apps in the replies?

@feditips FreeOTP. Android app, made by Red Hat, fully offline. Not google auth, but been pretty happy with it.

@feditips another thumbs up for Aegis ;)
I have also tried the one in Bitwarden but yeah like others said maybe it is safer to have two different apps in case Bitwarden is compromised.

@feditips I'm also using #FreeOTP - it does the job, didn't even thought to use other one.

@feditips
I use the Microsoft Authenticator app.

My workplace uses Microsoft 365 and Azure AD with 2-factor for our authentication, so I already use Microsoft Authenticator for 3 accounts (2 for work and a personal Microsoft account), and it's nice to have all the rest of my accounts in the same place.

It also functions as a password manager that syncs with Microsoft Edge, so all my passwords set in my browser are auto-filled on that service's mobile app.

@feditips I’ve been using Authy for a few years, and it was easy to setup with Mastodon too.

@feditips I use andOTP on Android.

@feditips instead of using an app you can use a physical token like a yubikey.

@feditips Authy's privacy policy is garbage.

Tracking each time I log into a website and my IP address for each login is unacceptable. Sending my information to law enforcement when asked is also unacceptable. There is also no good reason to use closed source Authy when free and open source options are available.

Aegis (Android) and Raivo (iOS) are the best 2FA apps. Bitwarden's Premium tier ($10/year) also includes it, and it's end-to-end encrypted.

@feditips For me Aegis works superb. I've tested most of such apps, but this one is my favourite and will stays on my devices for a long time, I hope.
