If proprietary app is better and more robust I am willing to try it and assess it myself.

When it comes to proprietary apps Authy is nice, it offers synchronisation between devices, but yeah, it involves cloud (someone's computer) and you need to give them your phone number, so that's for privacy, in the end you might as well use Google authenticator, it syncs between devices to, it's about who you trust more

For people down voting, please share your reasons for it. If there's something wrong with the product, sharing that info would be helpful.

I've used Authy for years now without issue. Seems it's not a popular option anymore.

Is there something I should know about? Or are other options much better now?
