The article suggests that users install Google Authenticator for 2FA, but I would suggest looking elsewhere. The developers pushed a change sometime within the last year where the app takes several seconds to respond when you first open it as well as when the codes refresh
I have recently switched to 2FAS (https://2fas.com/#) which has been much more responsive so far. I'm also interested in hearing if anyone has other recommendations
A number of reviews mention the same slowness. I was also having it manage 29 accounts at its peak, though the slowdown came from an update, not from adding an account. I wonder if it depends on the version of Android or something
You can plot this curve showing the rate at which people lose their 2FA codes and conclude that 2FA is a fad because by 2040 or so there will be no GitHub because everybody got locked out of their account.

Aegis is open source. The tokens are encrypted at-rest. If you change devices, you can also export and import them.
This should be a red flag.
