It may not be the best place to file this, but I feel this is a security issue so rather than starting a discussion I would firstly file this as an issue to be fixed.

Please do not recommend Authy as a TOTP app. Since they were acquired by Twilio the app sunk in quality. It's closed source. They had a security breach in 2022. It doesn't allow to export/transfer your auths. Even deleting your account is really hard.

Instead:
Aegis on Android
Raivo on iOS

Should trust your own research but these seem to be the community recommended choices currently.
