Apple 2FA
-
Authy is my first choice.
- The encrypted backups for your accounts.
- Allow approval from notifications. But it's disabled if you enable Authy protection PIN.
- For security of the app, you can enable App protection, touch id protection, and protect the entire app.
- Another nice addition is there Authy Desktop app (macOS, Windows and Linux via Snap) and Authy app for Chrome.

Authy has long been a better solution to use. but recent news means GA is just bad.
https://lifehacker.com/switch-from-google-authenticator-to-a-more-secure-2fa-a-1842212483if you have malware on your device, I'm not sure this is really what I'm worried about. Sure it's not great, but it could definitely be worse.

Which services support this with Authy?

I haven't bother looking into it because I use the app that is provided for that service.

FFS we had this conversation within the last 14 days
everything does. because these are all built to standards.

@Dashrender read the entire fucking line....
The app supports it unless you proctect it in the first place. which you should..
It has nothing to do with the service.

I don't recall such a conversation - I'm specifically talking about push notifications - I was unaware that third parties were able to register for and receive push notifications like Google and MS (and frankly Apple) provide their MFA apps.

This is a whole other topic again.
When do you think apps stopped being able to do push notifications? That's all it is.

I do a few different things. I use FreeOTP and Yubikeys to store legacy TOTP codes. I also use Yubikeys for u2f as well. If the service has a 2fa push option like Zoho does, then I'll also sign up for that. This way I cover my bases if I happen to lose something.
Plus you also have recovery codes for that as well.

huh? The MS authenticator registers itself for push notifications from MS, GA does from Google - are you saying you can do that with Authy for google and microsoft services?
I completely understand that I can add TOTP to Authy for MS and Google, but I quoted and am specifically asking about push notifications from those via Authy.
My google foo is finding nothing but people bitching about how authy does NOT support push, but does support TOTP.
Now all that said - I see that Authy has created One Touch - and that One Touch as an API that allows push notifications, but I can't find anywhere that says that Google/MS have enabled that feature.
