A few opinionated differences: - Mail -> Fastmail - Search -> Kagi - Photos -> Google Photos (sorry, but...it's fantastic) - Docs/Sheets/Slides -> Native/No

What exactly do you mean by "Sites -> VS Code"? Do you mean create the webpage from scratch yourself, because a big part of Google Sites is that the site is also hosted for you, and I don't think asking a user of Google Sites to create a webpage and host it themselves is the best idea.

  I've updated my comment with what I use for hosting my site. But my intent was what you gleaned. Edit: Fastmail even offers website/hosting as a part of your email service. I'm just biased being a developer and cry at the thought of sites or wordpress - knowing all too well that those products bring real value to many, many people.

  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

Bitwarden also has authenticator functionality. I find it the most convenient to replace google auth as BW is also where all my passwords are stashed.
