Nekem az ügyfélkapu+ ajánlása alapján TOTP.App volt, de olvasva az eredetének orosz hátterű homályos voltára, váltottam erre a hitelesítőre. Két ügyfélkaput működtetek vele, eddig hibátlanul tette a dolgát. Köszönöm.

Minha avaliação4 estrelas, mas infelizmente parou de funcionar o bkp no google drive e ja tentei varias as configs mas não teve jeito. Faço o bkp manualmente quando eu adiciono uma nova 2fa. Alguém tem ideia do que pode ser? Quando eu inspeciono a extensão quando vou fazer o bkp no google drive este erro aparece: ``` TypeError: e.getEncryptionStatus is not a function at Rs.<anonymous> (storage.ts:440:20) at Generator.next (<anonymous>) at s (otp.ts:290:3) ```
