The Best Two-Factor Authentication App? (iOS) - Lemmy.world

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 Times [https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-two-factor-authentication-app/]that 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!

Since you only listed apple platforms you can also just use the built in options for both password management and 2FA.

The only gripe I have about this is that third party browsers on MacOS don’t support Passkey. If you use Safari it’s absolutely wonderful, but…safari.

Still though, it isn’t incredibly difficult to just go into Settings to get passwords, but it’s still a pain.

This is pretty much the reason I use 1Password. I don’t like Safari, and it has reasonably good UX and extensions for all browsers + native apps.
