1password Authy



  1. Moving Authy to 1Password. 1Password 5.3 for OSX, 5.2 for iOS, and 4.1.0.538 for Windows support OTP. I've been using Authy for a while now, but the fact is, I haven't really been using 2FA for some time. As mentioned by 1Password in a recent blog post, having the OTP generator and password on the same device is very much not 2FA.
  2. I love 1Password, but they're going to have to work very hard to get me to give up Authy for one-time passwords. I'll have to take a look at this. It is very easy to set up one-time passwords in.

Although 1Password can be used to store one-time passwords for other services where you use two-factor authentication, it’s important to use a different authenticator app to store the authentication codes for your 1Password account. Storing them in 1Password would be like putting the key to. Or I store the password in 1Password, but use Authy with Touch ID to unlock the one-time password. AgileBits argues that having both factors on the same device eliminates the benefit.
