Much easier to use than Authy – Authenticator 2FA | Sentinel Review

Obsidian is a wonderful cross-platform two-factor authentication app. Adding and deleting accounts to/from Obsidian is extremely easy and much, much quicker than Authy. However, I have two complaints that prevent Obsidian from receiving a 5-star rating: 1) CANNOT REARRANGE ACCOUNTS - In Obsidian, accounts are listed in the order that they are added to the app. This works fine until I realize that the first two accounts in the list are accounts I access maybe 2-3 times every year. Instead of leaving these hardly used accounts at the top of the list, it would be much more beneficial if I could rearrange all of my accounts so that the most used accounts existed at the top of the list. Even simply ordering my accounts alphabetically would make more sense than the current order. I would really like to see Obsidian provide a feature which allows users to reorder their accounts. 2) CANNOT RENAME ACCOUNTS - When an account is added to Obsidian, the email address registered to that account is displayed in Obsidian. However, if I update the email address on that account, this change is not reflected in Obsidian. Going further, Obsidian does not provide any method of editing each account, meaning that I am forever stuck with the incorrect email address being displayed. The only way to fix this is to delete the account from Obsidian, turn off 2FA on the account, re-enable 2FA on the account, and then go back through the 2FA setup process. This is tremendously annoying. I would really like to see Obsidian provide the ability to edit the name/email address displayed on accounts.
