I’m using Google Authenticator. It was recommended by Discord and FACEIT at the time. FACEIT didn’t let me queue for any CS:GO matches unless I had it. I don’t know if i have the option to switch, but if I can… should I?
You should, Google authenticator doesn’t allow you to backup your codes, the main flow to extract then is to use a series of QR to immediately import them into another device, not as a backup.
Now, they recently implemented a way to upload them to the cloud, but AFAIK that backup is not encrioted, so you’re giving them away at the will of Google.
Many sites/applications only say “use Google Authenticator” but you can use any another which supports the format. I moved to Aegis and it was super easy, you start the export flow and scan the QRs in Aegis.
