Aegis but it just works on Android. If possible use a 2FA app that is open source and doesnt't have internet connection.

I use vaultwarden/bitwarden
I've never understood the point of having your 2fa and your passwords in the exact same place. Doesn't that defeat the purpose?
It kind of does. But, the vault itself is protected with 2fa and that code i have backed up on a simple piece of paper (printed out the qr code) in my safe. You are not wrong though. Something to think about!
Woah, I have a selfhosten vaultwarden instance and never knew it could do this! Thanks, kind internet person!
I use a keepass database with KeePassium (strongbox looks great too).
I keep the database in the cloud but it’s unlocked by a local keyfile on each device. So if it’s compromised they would need the keyfile.
KeePassium keeps a local copy and backups if you lose connection.
I already use KeePassium, do you just store your TOTP keya in it?
I actually use Bitwarden for passwords.
KeePassium just for totp.
I like my passwords nice and separate from totp. Used to use Authy but wanted something open sourced and more ability to access my data.
If I used KeePassium for passwords too, I’d have two separate databases with different passwords/key files. One for totp and one for passwords.
Not sure about syncing, but I use Aegis on Android and it works well
...which runs on neither Linux nor iOS.
I've been using Authy for a while now but I'm thinking of switching to Aegis since it's open source
What's so good about Aegis?
I use Pass (https://apps.apple.com/il/app/pass-password-store/id1205820573) which is an iOS version of pass (the command line password manager) that also supports pass’s 2FA extension.
2FAS or a KeePass vault kept in sync on both, which can store TOTP private keys and display them when needed.
I use KeePassXC and you can sync it with Syncthing. On iOS there are alternatives which a compatible with Syncthing and the KeePassXC database, it works very cool once you figure out how to do it and you also got all your passports synced too with it.
keepassxc for desktop and for Android: FreeOTP+ (the plus is important)
I use 1Password for mine.
