What app are you using for two factor authorisation and why? Looking at Authy, Google, Microsoft, any others? Advantages disadvantages?

I use Google for my Google account and Microsoft for my Hotmail and work Account. Both work the same by flashing an approved/deny notification up on my watch to select. Both do exactly what they say they do. No preference for either tbh.

I use 'Authenticator' which is easy ...

What happens if you lose you phone or it dies , do the any of those apps have back-up?

To add I'm looking for something that will work with 3rd party log-ins , not just google or Hotmail email accounts.

I use authy mainly because the app can sync accounts to my phone, watch and desktop. I have it working with google mail, outlook, paypal, amazon etc. no problem. Microsoft was a bit of a fiddle because they prefer their own authenticator app which uses a different mechanism than what seems to be standard, but with a bit of effort it can be made to work with any authenticator app.

You can manage devices you have synced up on any other device if you lose a phone and need to revoke access etc.
