What authenticator app do you use? How do you backup? Any open source self hosted options?

Authy for OTP, Bitwarden for passwords.

As long as my provider shows some concern for the sensitivity of the data I entrust them with, I’m good.

    I use Bitwarden for both passwords and TOTP. So much easier than messing around with multiple apps.

    I trust Bitwarden but putting it all into one place still sketches me out. I only use their TOTP for low impact stuff where convenience trounces security, otherwise it’s Authy with device enrollment off, and on a yubikey.

    Yeah, that's my setup as well. Tech-savvy people tend to have an all-or-nothing attitude to security, but at the end of the day, as soon as you take some extra precautions like using a keygen or activating 2FA, you're already taking yourself out of the massive pool of targets of opportunity that hackers go for.

    Same here, though I'm starting to move my OTP over to Bitwarden as well. Way more convenient - as a developer, I spend a lot of time off my phone. Makes more sense to let Bitwarden manage those so I don't have to pick up my phone as often.

    I'm also slightly distrustful of closed-source Authy, whereas Bitwarden is open source and audited for security by third parties.

    Same setup here, though since i'm on basically all Apple devices when iOS 17 public beta is out I'm going to switch to just using the built in manager. Supports two factor, and the main achilles for me was that I couldn't share passwords, but that's fixed for 17.

    I'll be sticking with Authy/Bitwarden for the near future since I float between devices of all types -- Windows, iOS, Android/ChromeOS... (Not that I mind. It avoids the whole "eggs in one basket situation").

    I am eagerly awaiting greater support for passkeys. Now if only enterprise apps could get on board with that!
