Introducing .app, a more secure home for apps on the web

We introduced an alternative to 2FA SMS - Authy OneTouch. We're working on adding TOTP as well.

Hey Ted, since you're here, may I please suggest that the future implementation of 2FA not require a separate app? Even though Namecheap is using Authy OneTouch, it still requires a dedicate app, which is unnecessary. Thanks.

We partnered with Authy/Twilio on this integration to try something new. Totally get that we need additional options.

Just wanna give a quick +1 to this request. The lack of proper 2FA is one of my complaints as well.

Authy OneTouch pushes you towards some fairly strong platform and vendor lock-in, which I always try to avoid.
