I use Aegis, automatically backed up every time a new key is added. Was using Authy for a while, but they're going down the enshittification hole, so I dumped them.
Bitwarden as Vaultwarden enables TOTP.
Yubikey. It supports TOTP as well as passkeys. Plus is a physical device separate from my phone. Recommend getting 2 to have 1 as backup
Yubikeys. I think everyone should get a couple (need 2 in case 1 lost)

A combination of Yubikey and Enpass (I got Enpass back when it was $15 for perpetual).
I use Aegis, it works well
I like Aegis.
Bitwarden. I don't self host it, though. $10 a year for password management and 2FA is fine by me.

I've been using KeePassXC. I use Syncthing to keep the database synchronized between computers.
Yes, the only issue I have with it is that you can only have one TOTP for each site entry (need to create two separate entries if using two accounts).

I use Aegis on my phone.
Aegis.
I like the auto backup feature (encrypted) . Then the backup is synced to computer via Syncthing.
Set and forget setup.
For me aegis is by far the best. Simple. Encrypted. Backup. It's saved to a syncthing folder. Passwords are in bitwarden for simpme stuff but keepassxc is great. And also synced via syncthing.
I also use aegis. Have been for years and it works great
Aegis ♥️

I've been using Aegis for several years now without any problems. It replaced the Google Authenticator seamlessly.
Bitwarden Authenticator because Bitwarden seems to have a good reputation. I don't use their password manager, though.
It does seem faintly insecure that it displays all of the codes at once on one page, but I'm having trouble imagining a scenario where it's actually a problem.
