Open standard 2FA with QR codes

Could we please move away from the Authy only 2FA implementation currently used and provide standard TOTP and QR codes?

This would work much better for people who already have a stack of 2FA accounts in other solutions, remove reliance on a single application, fix issues with support (eg. Windows Phone), remove the need for a phone number (important for younger users I'd imagine) and generally increase flexibility and usability of 2FA for everyone by not locking us into a proprietary implementation.

    I recently had to deal with Authy's terrible customer service. One week in, and my case is still ongoing. I really hope that Twitch can ditch these clowns and use the standard TOTP method for two factor authentication. Or at least allow it in place of Authy.
