What did you end up moving to?

Storing 2FA in Bitwarden (my password manager) and Aegis as a fallback. Also making offline backups of each periodically.

Doesn't Bitwarden require you to be on the paid subscription plan to use 2FA? That's what I concluded anyway from trying to research this garbage when Microsoft was threatening to lock me out of my Github account. It's why I ended up on Authy.

I believe they do, yes. Been on the $10/year plan and have forgotten the details on their tiers, though.

All 2FA really boils down to is a "otpauth://totp" URL that clients use to generate time based tokens. Once you have those exported somewhere, you can move to any TOTP app you want (desktop or mobile)

And how do I do that in Authy
