@neko@aus.social @futzle@old.mermaid.town I did this super-hacky thing ages ago to get the TOTP out of their shitty app and into 1Password.

The myGov Code Generator app is being retired, set up another sign in option.
And when you continue with that it actually gives you the option to use a bog-standard TOTP authenticator setup!
