Important point out of that reddit Bitwarden thread:

If you migrate to another app and then delete your authy account, you risk having 2FA removed for some integrated accounts if they're set up to directly use the Authy backend. Twitch in some cases was pointed out.

Twitch refused to return me access to one of my accounts for this exact reason (the account that had subscriptions on it was returned, the one without was not).

I've abandoned a twitch account because of 2FA nonsense. If you set a phone number as your 2FA and then lose access to it you're screwed. They don't care.

At some point Cloudflare also used their weird OTP variant
