[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 1059610, member: 61091"] well I use my yubikey where I can, but otherwise I've been using Authy on my iPhone, but it seems to be disfavored here, ie, I started using Authy when I was on hiatus from MT, and did not know any better.😰 I just read about the issue with Authy: "Authy's main strength is multi-device support...which you can enable from the app's settings. I think it has the best interface among 2FA apps. [B][U]The reason why I mention Authy here [not recommended list], and not in the primary list above is because its parent company, Twilio, suffered a data breach last year.[/U][/B] Authy uses end-to-end encryption, in theory it should have protected the user's data.

Maybe I should stop using Authy, but so far it has not failed me :unsure: Is is safe? [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ghacks.net/2023/02/27/best-authenticator-apps-for-android-and-ios/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
