How many authenticator apps do I need?
I've got:
- Google Authenticator on my iPhone/iPads
- Authy (on some platforms)
- 2Stable
- RSA Authenticator (which seems incompatable with the Google one)
And now ID.me wants me to download their authenticator app.
Hey guys, can't we just have ONE standardized time-based authenticator that runs on Windows, Android, MacOS, iphone OS, iPad OS, Linux, and maybe *BSD?
And also, not cost $50/year - I'm looking at you 2Stable.

@karlauerbach@sfba.social I had a bunch of authenticator apps (Authy, Google, MS, Okta) and after I had switched to Bitwarden, I started to move OTPs into it. It's not without its problems, but at least it works on most of the platforms you mentioned. Thus I need only Bitwarden on my devices and one another to provide OTP for Bitwarden login (which also could be installed only on a few "seed" devices).
