 Using Google Authenticator? Read this.👇

"It may collect data from at least eight different data categories, including your phone's contact list, the photos and videos  on your device, plus your phone number and physical address."

 🤮 
 Is authy any better? 
 What are the good alternatives ?  
 Seems like 2FAS is the way (no data linked). I just found this out myself so I’ll have to check it out. It already has two things going for it, non-Google and open-source. 🤙 https://image.nostr.build/c75063d4eceb62a5d5d45adfcb8060542c439e79968318a2bbad53e36adbd97a.jpg  
 I use google & Authy. I should migrate to 2FAS 🤔 
 I did this roughly 2 yrs ago. You should do it yesterday 😉 
 LFG second best time is today. 🤙 
 how is that differnt to aegis? 
 Aegis is for Android. 
 IF you are REALLY concerned about data collection or leakage I STRONGLY suggest you to use KeepassXC. It supports TOTP by a really long time. I'd rather put in the effort to manually copy my password files to my own cloud drive than trust password managers that use data centers run by those big tech companies we all know. 
 Having the authenticator on an old phone fixes this, Doesn't even require a sim card.  
 Pull an old phone out of a box. Put 2FA on that phone, problem solved. Doesn't even require a sim card.
