Unfortunately there are some websites that require Authy (probably because Authy wined and dined some business executive). I absolutely loathe these sites but if it’s a site you’re not willing to live without, you’re stuck with having Authy plus your main 2FA app.

which ones are that? I'd love to check, because afaik, they have a feature that enables push-2fa via authy, but should generally work on other apps as well

Sendgrid's only options for 2FA are Authy (their proprietary token generation, no option for TOTP) or SMS. Tried signing up the other day and was surprised to find no option to use standard TOTP.

Are you sure that you can't use a different TOTP generator? There's a difference between telling you to use Authy and still being able to use a different app

Yes I'm sure, hence why I specifically mentioned that. Try the sign up procedure yourself. It REQUIRES 2fa and it has to be Authy's non-standard token or SMS. No option for regular TOTP.

thx. just making sure. I already saw a lot of people annoyed about a specific app, just because that was the one being advertised, but in the end it was TOTP
