They intentionally make it really hard to migrate your data off their app under the premise of "security".

I use Authy. I've read a few comments about how migrating away is difficult. What do you use instead? I also use bitwarden, but not sure how I feel about passwords and totp being in the same app.
It does mean you're putting a lot of trust in your password manager, but on the other had, you already kind of were, weren't you?
Ugh. I used this for redundancy. In case I lost my phone I wasn't locked out of everything.

Important point out of that reddit Bitwarden thread: If you migrate to another app and then delete your authy account, you risk having 2FA removed for some integrated accounts if they're set up to directly use the Authy backend. Twitch in some cases was pointed out.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
What should I replace it with? Any recommendations for a functionally equivalent cross-device 2FA app?
I migrated to 2FAS, which is open source, free and has a nice UI. Used Authy for ages and just switched. Recommended… https://2fas.com/

Worth noting that you can install the Authy iPad app on ARM Macs (unsure about Intel, but I'm skeptical) but seriously, what a terrible app, another great reason to get off that platform
Hadn't even thought of this, thank you!
(And it works!)
