I need advice on a code-generating app for an iPhone 6S.

Another forum where I'm a member has just instituted a two-step verification process. I am looking at this message:

To receive verification codes via a phone app, you must first install a code-generating app such as Authy or Google Authenticator on your phone.

Once you have done this, you will need to scan the QR code below into the app and enter the generated code below to confirm.

I'm fine with that, but is there a preferred one of these thingies here at DU? I'm up to iOS 15.1 on this phone, the newest one available.

Thanks for the help.

1. I use several

Authy and Duo, mostly. Both are reliable for these kinds of things.

2. The one from Google is falling out of favor.

Mostly due to its lack of updates.
