I thought Authy was a TOTP authenticator? I thought I was using it as an "Authenticator App" in places that require a TOTP authenticator, and can use any TOTP authenticator implementation, and Authy is the one I was using.
But this stuff confuses me, I am not shocked if i'm wrong. Can you explain where I'm going wrong, or provide a link to help me understand it?
I don't use Twitch; it sounds like maybe Twitch doesn't let you use any TOTP authenticator, but _requires_ you to use Authy? (weird!) But maybe Authy is still a TOTP authenticator?
- rezonant 3y agoAuthy supports TOTP, but it also provides it's own proprietary secret TOTP alternative, and that's what Twitch uses unless something has changed. You cannot use anything other than Authy for Twitch.
