You want an authentication app that won't lock you out like Authy did and still makes it easy to keep track of your passwords. There's Microsoft Authenticator which has a backup for your account and works well, as well as Google Authenticator which is basic but supported everywhere. On Android you can try Aegis which is open source and stores locally without the cloud. Ente Auth is also fresh because it syncs across your devices and has strong encryption. All of these give you control and help prevent the drama of number verification.
