I use Bitwarden (I know opinions are split when it comes to passwords and 2FA being in separate apps). But I like the convenience of it all being in one platform.
I also like Raivo, you can import/export them too.
You can set Bitwarden to require your master password for higher security logins. I keep a separate vault for work and personal things... Everything in my work vault requires it's master password to use them. The OTPs are useless without credentials, and you need the master password to get at those even when the vault is unlocked. YMMV but to me, this was "good enough" to ensure a separation of concerns between low and high risk.
I use bitwarden and only put totp codes in it for “low risk” uses. Like say…a Reddit account.
Thinks like email accounts or ones associated to bank etc I keep in google Authenticator (not synced to the cloud)
I also keep a spare phone with the google auth totp codes loaded in case I lose my phone.
At the service level I also keep backup codes or use a yubikey when possible. So even MFA at the account level often has options, even if it’s “my phone is across the room and I’m too lazy, backup code time”
Authy for OTP, Bitwarden for passwords.
As long as my provider shows some concern for the sensitivity of the data I entrust them with, I’m good.
I use Bitwarden for both passwords and TOTP. So much easier than messing around with multiple apps.
Yeah, that's my setup as well. Tech-savvy people tend to have an all-or-nothing attitude to security, but at the end of the day, as soon as you take some extra precautions like using a keygen or activating 2FA, you're already taking yourself out of the massive pool of targets of opportunity that hackers go for.
Same here, though I'm starting to move my OTP over to Bitwarden as well. Way more convenient - as a developer, I spend a lot of time off my phone. Makes more sense to let Bitwarden manage those so I don't have to pick up my phone as often.
I'm also slightly distrustful of closed-source Authy, whereas Bitwarden is open source and audited for security by third parties.
Aegis for OTP, Bitwarden with backups from the subscription for passwords.
I was on Authy, but painfully migrated to Aegis. I keep a backup on my NAS just in case.
I think Authy was the better app, and good with it working on my PC, but Aegis is more secure so that won.
I use Aegis, which automatically backs up with each change to the database to a folder that gets synced to a couple of different computers via syncthing.
For backup codes, I have a separate keypass database that's backed up to a couple of places. I thought about using Bitwarden for this backup, but having my 2FA backups in the same place as my passwords kinda defeated the point, IMO.
Anyway, this system has worked well for me.
Yubico Authenticator and Aegis depending on the importance of the account. I have a secondary Yubikey for quick access backups and a keepass database exclusively for my TOTP keys that I backup to my nextcloud server in real time with versioning. Similarly, I backup my Aegis backups with the nextcloud app.
For iOS I use Raivo. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/raivo-otp/id1459042137
Aegis is a good one for Android. I use the totp field in my keepassdx database that I open with a password (or fingerprint) and my yubikey to store my auth codes. I use this with syncthing running on a raspberry pi so it syncs the password database across my phone and all my computers.
Edit: initially said keepassXC I meant keepassdx for the mobile app. Xc is the desktop version.
I use andOTP but I didn't realize it wasn't in active development. I might give aegis a try. I have a yubikey and once I get a second one I may move everything to that.
I switched from andOTP to Aegis when I found out about the development and I actually like it more! I was able to import all my saved credentials easily.
2FAS, because it's fucking beautiful (UI, dark mode, lovely site logos). It has a couple backup options. Also using Bitwarden (paid feature) for less important sites; it's quicker but I prefer my 2FA truly separate from passwords.

Thanks for the recommendation, I had not seen this project before and it looks fantastic.
Yubico Authenticator + nfc yubikeys
Only downside with Yubikeys is that you can't really have backups. The solution is to have two of them, and add the 2FAs to each of them every time you sign up for a new account. It does mean you pretty much can't have offsite backups though.
Personally I keep a USB-A with NFC one on my keyring and then a UISB-C one at my desk, which covers every device I have.
I use Vaultwarden server with the Bitwarden app for all passwords and 2fa keys in one app
I usually just use KeePassXC, which is open source and self hosted (kinda). It's synced over onedrive, though something like syncthing would work fine too.
No backups per-se, but onedrive should handle accidentally deleted files, and the database is on a few machines anyway so the chances of anything permanently happening to all copies are rather slim.
I have been using this https://github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis
Its great!
edit: I will add that 1password works well too. I use that for work
Freeotp+
Keepassxc Database with keepassxcxc and yubikey :)
The Moment i learned that i can use totp with keepassxc killed aeges for me :)
I use andOTP, but will soon be switching to Aegis as andOTP is no longer updated.
Another vote for bitwarden. They have self host options. I use vaultwarden to self host it.
I use both Aegis and VaultWarden (self-hosted). Both can be backed up locally or synced.
After my Authy fiasco, I use Authenticator Pro, Zoho OneAuth, and Microsoft Authenticator.
Auth Pro is my main (auto backup to Nextcloud). The other apps are for redundancy.
Raivo OTP for iOS. Open-source and allows easy exporting for backup or migration. I previously felt stuck on Authy but used Raivo's migration guide.
I was going to mention this as well. I went from Google, to Authy, to Raivo OTP and never looked back. Their sync system is great too.
They have a website too with more articles as well https://raivo-otp.com/
Another upvote for Raivo!
The tried and trusted aught and bitwarden combo.
I use Google Authenticator with no backup. I religiously store my backup codes in my password manager. I'll probably switch to a different app soon, since I'm not a fan of the recent Google Authenticator changes.
Currently EnPass which I sync via Google Drive across all my devices, but I'm in the process of migrating to VaultWarden (self hosted) which I'll access remotely via Wireguard if I need to when I'm out and about
I use Microsoft Authenticator. I hadn't looked into open source options at the time when I needed one and it was the most immediately apparent alternative to the Google Authenticator on the Play Store.
