How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Authy names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Security. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Authy also lists Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, LastPass Authenticator, FreeOTP as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
