Sortof-related to the Twitch security concerns..


I keep separate passwords for every website, and looked into two-factor
authentication, with a one time code, using KeePassXC [1].

- Twitch only supplies a QR code
- KeePassXC cannot use a QR code
- I happen to have a phone and can use SecScanQR [2] to decipher it.
- Twitch forces the use of Authy 2FA

I started some beginner research into avoiding using Authy, and came
upon:
