  • Here’s another one— click through on macOS. Coming from other systems I find it infuriating. Not just the click though itself but its inconsistency, where it works in browsers and some other selected programs but not in most.

    For those not aware, click through is when you’re focused on another window and click on this one. With click through, it will immediately action what you click without you have to click first to the window then click again. This isn’t inherently inferior, but I really don’t like it personally. And it is absolutely impossible to change this behavior on MacOS by any means. Believe me, I researched this extensively.




  • It’s less that Twilio specifically owns it than problems resulting from corporate ownership. Briefly:

    1. You can’t get your data out of Authy. Actually you can, but it’s a long annoying process involving installing an out of date chrome extension and using developer tools.
    2. Privacy issues. Authy links a lot of data including location to your identity.
    3. Authy supports SMS account recovery (which is inherently insecure) and doesn’t allow users to disable it.

  • Android is easy, Aegis.

    IOS is much harder. Right now, probably “2FAs”. Authy is owned by Twilio, Raivo was just bought out by an advertising company, and the others are either too small to get the exposure required for any level of security or charge for the feature.
