"2FA market". Wait now 2FA apps constitute a market? The whole article is inaccurate and tries to jump on the stereotypes we see in the news about Google to capture clicks.
Authenticator is still a secure 2FA app (unlike Authy) and the fact that the devs did not ship a new build or updated the UI recently might not be great but the app does its job.
If "awk" does not ship a new build in a few years would it be considered abandonware?
