@nilesh I would also like it if the Google Maps app would stop attempting to sign me in on mobile.

I'm still using Google Authenticator which means I think I'm stuck with cached Google credentials on my phone, and big G has a way of insinuating itself into fucking everything once you give it a toehold.

@klausfiend @nilesh Do you have a requirement to use a specific authenticator app? If not, you could get an open source one from F-Droid search.f-droid.org/?q=authenti

@gunchleoc @nilesh Not especially. Inertia is a thing, though, and the usual anxieties about migration/recovery (Google Authenticator to its credit makes it easy to transfer 2FA info between devices)

@klausfiend @gunchleoc @nilesh
Aegis is really great as 2FA, with automatic backups and biometric security.

@AnCaoladoir @klausfiend @nilesh I sort of picked FreeOTP at random.

I guess I should look around for one that has password protection, but I was being lazy at the time. I'm only using it for my social media accounts, so it's not that critical.

@klausfiend @nilesh in many cases you don’t need an Authenticator at all. It’s built in in iOS under passwords. Select the appropriate service and there it is: verification cordes.

@NetBerry @nilesh Wait, what? iOS has built-in TOTP generators? Since when? How did I miss this ...

@klausfiend @nilesh yup. I love it. Get out of my way, #Google spythenticator and #Microsoft #authenticator. It came somewhere in 2021 already as you can read here: support.apple.com/guide/iphone #totp
