    More flexible, can add an additional layer of security on top of your codes, lets you organize your codes into categories, doesn't depend on Google for cloud backups, and it's easy to import from Google Auth.

    Of course can you use KeePass and apps that utilize kdbx files as a TOTP generator. Just read it up.

    Authy has a an auto-backup feature, Google authenticator doesn't. Google authenticator doesn't have any way to export/backup the keys.

    Keepass2Android supports TOTP. The better thing is, TOTP seed works with desktop applications too. Therefore, you need only one database for desktop and mobile devices. Also, built-in Keepass keyboard allows autofill all inputs from one place, you don't need to switch between applications.

    It offers the same functionality as other open source TOTP apps, but additionally offers plain-text (unencrypted) and encrypted backups of your configured TOTP accounts. This app also features a dark mode for nicer view. Besides that, the app offers a lot of different icons to apply to every TOTP entry, so you can find your desired entry easier, if you have a lot in total. To make finding the specific entry even easier, you can assign tags to them, as well.
