Ask HN: Has anyone found a nice cross platform alternative to Authy?

1 pointsby atif089about 1 year ago
With Authy&#x27;s desktop app sunsetting, I&#x27;m on the hunt for a reliable cross-platform alternative that allows me to manage my 2FA codes on both my Android device and PC.<p>I know some of you security enthusiasts might suggest otherwise, but I still prefer having my 2FA software on my PC and willing to trade security for convenience

Calling on Team @Authy: If like me you&#x27;re gutted about the &quot;End of Life for Twilio Authy Desktop Apps, Effective March 19, 2024&quot;. Just relax and install BlueStacks Android emulator for Windows on your desktop. Then install Authy, &amp; you have a crude but effective workaround.<p>I posted the above on Twitter in February.

I&#x27;ve used <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.enpass.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.enpass.io</a> for many years. Much better experience than Authy.<p>If you don&#x27;t like storing 2FA with passwords in the same place, you can use Enpass exclusively for 2FA and use an alternate password manager.<p>I&#x27;ve personally grown to enjoy the convenience of having both 2FA and passwords auto-filled for me.

I simply paid for Bitwarden which offers the option of storing and generating otp codes

Not helpful to you directly, but the iPad OS version runs on Apple Silicon Macs.
