    Ente is the best open source 2fa app/program out there. Its actively developed and is the only 2fa service with i desktop app as well, so if you lose your phone you can also login through other devices

    Requires a log in, having 2fa on multiple types of devices like the same laptop you are logging into is more secure, developed in a country with strong anti-privacy laws.

    Authy is not only proprietary, but they try to lock you in. Unlike the open source options, they don't allow you to export your tokens to use another service if you wish. You have to do all of them manually. A big pain.

    Needed a FOSS alternative to the Google Authenticator app to access my company's corporate G-suite instance. This is a simple app and works like a charm!
