🧵 mmm this thread is quite a nightmare from a security perspective, so, if you are moving to an authenticator app, here are my 2 cents:
1. Google Authenticator is fine if you know how TOTPs (usually) work. You can always save the 2FA seed in a safe place, have more phones 1/n

2. Use a cloud-based TOTP service (e.g. Authy), they offer a better UX, 2/
