Have you tried to restore your phone? Especially while on LTE/3G or hotel WiFi? It's an absolute pain in the ass, takes a couple of hours, not to mention you have to set up Apple Pay again. Deal with 2FA changes because you can't back up Google Authenticator.
Use authy for authentication
If this was an independent review I would take it more serious, but it comes from authy directly.
Serious question tho, can Authy be used on any website that supports Google Authenticator?
There is also microsoft authenticator which supports the same things as Google Authenticator. They just added a backup to onedrive feature too.
Do they support any other backup options? I have no interest in signing up for yet another account, just for one specific app.
Google Authenticator is essentially just RFC6238 - TOTP: Time-Based One Time Password Algorithm.
Yes
Cool, didn't know that. I definitely like that Authy has backups.
I did it each time I got new iPhone before "transfer data to the new device" was available. No issues.
That would imply having your other phone available. The original suggestion was to clean your phone, and then restore it from a backup. So the whole "transfer data to the new device" wouldn't work.
1) Backup phone then reset to factory before flying 2) Restore once through customs.
