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’m using Raivo. It’s open source, supports iCloud sync (useful if you have multiple devices) and allows you to export and import the keys which is handy if you need to change your device and you don’t use iCloud synchronization.

    You can also set custom icons for the tokens to easily identity different services.

    I switched from mattrubin/Authenticator which worked fine too but the development slowed down. Not that simple OTP would require constant development. I just wanted to make sure that the app would work even if Apple releases new major iOS version.

    Raivo has worked without any issues and I can highly recommend it 👍
