A reminder for everyone that Authy allows multi device and backups in case you lose your phone. From my understanding Google Authenticator doesn't offer either of these.

Please keep in mind that by using Authy you're implicitly supporting the use of SMS 2FA everywhere. We need to push companies to get off of SMS 2FA and giving Twilio another user to put on their quarterly report isn't going to help.
Since the support is something you've made up, how would Twilio get the message that I'm not using Authy because I don't support SMS?
There's also storing 2fa in 1password if you use that, even more convenient
