Raivo wiped all of my TOTP codes (lemmy.ml)

9 months ago, Raivo OTP for iOS was sold to Mobime. Raivo was hailed highly in terms of privacy, but was dethroned to 2FAS Auth after that incident. Today, Raivo launched an update, and after updating all of my entries were completely wiped. I didn't have a backup, but even if I did you now have to pay in order to import/export TOTP codes. No thank you.

If you haven't already, create a backup right now for all of your 2FA apps, even if you think it won't break.

What's the use case for using anything other than red hat's freeotp?

What about Aegis?

[–] DishonestBirb@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Aegis is for Android, Ravio is an iOS app.

Uh, what do you mean? OpenOTP is great for 2FA for lots of sites.

If I remember correctly, I chose ravio over freeotp because the later lacked:

Scanne functionality didn't work.
No export / inport
Freeotp seemed like abondonware

Jokes on me.
