It’s the only one that offers* backup so you can restore authentication from one phone to another when your main phone fails and it’s not recoverable or falls into the ocean or something
Only now they say you can only restore to the same phone ecosystem (Apple to Apple, Android to Android) so I’d need to change login settings on about twenty services (including work which requires we use it) before I could change to an iPhone
* or only one that I could find that did when I was choosing authenticators
Thats actually a pretty conmon feature. Obviously the password managers do though keeping passwords and mfa in the same place kinda negates the multi in multifactor.
Twilio does as well.
Don’t know about Google’s, its been like a decade since i used it. It just was the worst.
Aegis does too but it requires a bit more work to sync the backups to cloud storage or what ever you choose. That’s actually a key feature for a lot of people looking to own their data though.

Neat. I’m stuck with Ms auth as work requires it
