Namecheap still does not support TOTP based multi-factor authentication (namecheap.com)

After a raft of social engineering attacks on it's SMS-only 2FA system Namecheap promised to introduce Authy-based authentication instead back in May 2017. Instead, they rolled out a custom solution called OneTouch which requires the Namecheap mobile app and is still tied to your phone number...and doesn't actually integrate Authy or TOTP based passwords

I currently use their OneTouch, and it works pretty well for a custom solution. However, I still hope that they support real TOTP's soon because I can securely store all of my TOTP's together.

It'd be very annoying to have an app for each single service.
