Question Good cross platform 2FA app

[nishaddesilva]

What is a good cross platform 2FA app with syncing functionality that I can use now that Authy is sunsetting the PC version?

I'm using an Android phone and a Windows PC.

Thanks in advance!

I recommend Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator. Both are available on Android and Windows, and they're free, secure, and easy to use.

I would rather have a standalone 2FA app/service because I already have Google and Microsoft accounts. And I don't think they provide cross platform apps.

Bitwarden has authenticator integration if you are comfortable with that.

I use Bitwarden for my passwords, so not comfortable with keeping all the eggs in the same basket...

In that case, you might want to check out LastPass Authenticator. It's a standalone 2FA app that works on both Android and Windows and offers cloud backup and multi-device sync.

Not seeing a PC version...

Apologies for the confusion. LastPass Authenticator doesn't have a standalone PC version. However, you might want to consider Duo Mobile which offers a great cross-platform experience, including on Windows via a web interface.

i'm using 2FAS (2FAS - the Internet's favorite open-source authenticator).
Works great as a web extension and on phone.
