Hi,

I'm looking for a good 2FA (or TOTP) authorization app that support Apple Watch, in addition to iPhone/iPad. I don't mind a one-time payment for the app but prefer to stay away from subscriptions. I wonder if anyone has any suggestions? I know Authy has this but I've seen a fair bit of negatives from actual users and am looking for other alternatives. Any thoughts would be amazing. Thanks in advance!
 
Authy used to be a pain for me due to the app not being updated to work well with iPhone X - it used to get stuck in a loop of FaceID hell, and often trying to scroll up the list of configured apps at the bottom would instead result in returning to home... but it's been absolutely fine for me for a couple of years now.

The companion watch app is very simple and works well... now that it's working for me. It wouldn't work when I first got the watch, so I followed a FAQ on their site (I think; just Google it) - soon got it working and it's just as you'd expect: use the crown (or your finger) to pick an app, and it displays the TOTP together with a little countdown/lifetime bar. Very simple and works fine.
