It’s a debated issue but personally I don’t recommend it.

Open your authenticator app and find the six-digit verification. There’s also the option of keeping your TOTP seeds on Bitwarden and having it generate your codes (premium account required). Log in to your Bitwarden vault on any app and enter your email address and master password. All an Authenticator app should do at its core is generate codes, not load up so many unnecessary services. Microsoft Authenticator isn't bad but I've got some concerns over all the tracking it does. Some say it has changed now but don't take the chance. It has a bad history of locking you out completely if you lose your device. Whatever you do though, do not use Google Authenticator. There is a github workaround for being able to export your Authy TOTP seeds but it takes a few steps. You'll find lots of options out there, but unfortunately nothing reliable that is both cross platform and lets you export. OTP Auth - iOS only, lets you export TOTP seeds. Does not let you export your TOTP seeds.Īegis - Android only, lets you export TOTP seeds. No authenticator does everything though which really sucks.Īuthy - Cross platform, backs up to the cloud, great support. My suggestion moving forward with an authenticator is no matter what program you choose, make sure you've got a way to have a plaintext version of all of your TOTP seeds.
