“I didn’t get into business…to be told what to do by another business.” —Jason Fried (via @manton)

I use Authy for 2FA TOTP codes, but it gets a little unmanageable when you have a lot of sites stored in it. Can anyone recommend an iOS app for 2FA TOTP that might work better for dozens of sites? Maybe an app that lets you organize sites into folders?
