If you are switching authenticator apps, I would suggest switching to one that respects your freedom, such as Aegis, andOTP, or KeePass.
It's worth also noting that Authy also has no official way to export your secrets, although there are workarounds: https://tij.me/blog/migrating-your-one-time-passwords-from-a...
