Thirded! Switched a few weeks back. Feels good to be able to fight in whatever little way that I can. Though one of my bank apps stopped working so that's kind of a pain in the ass.
How awful was moving your data? I've been wanting to switch, but my big hesitation is all my 2fa apps cuz I really don't want to have to reach out to all my clients to redo those...
I haven't needed to transfer much data. Three out if my banking apps worked with their proprietary token app required for living in our transferring money. Same with my stock trading app. But I'm thinking of moving those back to an older android again because, I dunno, I just don't feel like having it on my fault driver anymore.
I dunno what to do about Microsoft authenticator. I need it to log into my Microsoft account for managing my kids' screen time, I think, and for playing Minecraft.
I have Google's authenticator app which I've needed to log into certain services.
Sorry, I like tinkering with my devices but I'm not a very technical person, so I'm not sure if I've answered your question correctly.
Wait, why can't you just export and import the TOTP data? You shouldn't need to notify any of the providers...
I thought it didn't let me, but this may just be PEBKAC...
