If Authy doesn't float your boat in terms of the convenience vs. security trade-offs of 2FA, one possible option I've been using is using a YubiKey Neo and Yubico Authenticator together which works with anything Authy does.

Other pros:

* Works natively with Google, Dropbox and Lastpass in normal security key mode
* The authentication codes can be read on desktops and any android device with NFC
* Can be used for smart lock

Cons:
* It's another thingy you have to buy
* Depending on the kind of person you are you might be more likely to lose your keys than your phone
* NFC is finicky especially if you have a case on

As far as LastPass vs. KeePass vs. 1Password goes, as long as my passwords aren't compromised I personally really don't care much if they get attacked. Dropbox has been subject to breaches before so if that's the concern then why even have your password vault in the cloud at all?

Edit:

Quasseldroid is another option similar to Irssi and weechat for IRC that uses Quassel

Tweetings is my personal preferred Twitter client, I find Fenix a bit overwhelming but that's probably because I'm more used to Tweetings. In terms of feature sets they're actually pretty similar.

Microsoft actually has some pretty cool apps, like Hyperlapse (apparently janky but works fine for me) and Office Lens which is kind of a mobile scanning thingy with OCR and all that jazz, works better than Goggles for me personally.

Unless it's something horribly embarrassing and you don't want to say, what app was this you were buying?

The Material icon pack that was linked earlier, I'm in Canada if that makes a difference.

Are there any volume boosting apps that work with a Galaxy 10.1?
I've tried multiple off of the play store and none of them seem to do anything. Many videos I watch on my tablet seem to have a low volume even with headphones.
The same files sound perfectly fine on my laptop.

Do your headphones have high impedance? From what I understand volume booster apps are by and large useless because you'd need root to actually change how much voltage is going through the headphone jack.

lol my bank can barely get a decent desktop site working in anything other than IE, so 2FA is super out of the question. :canada:

No it will definitely "upload" the songs that you already have as a part of All Access. Meaning even if does a scan and match there will be two albums there of the same music. In my experience anyway

So Google already has messenger and hangouts, both of which are complete poo poo, and it's plan is to.... Make a 3rd app that supposed to compete with one of the biggest texting/messaging apps out there?

Okay.

I mean, FB Messenger isn't any less poo poo depending on who you ask. Messenger and Hangouts both work fine for the most part, the thing that's poo poo about them is that they never implemented an iMessage-like system that uses SMS when you have no data and Hangouts if you do. Plus the integration with Voice came late and was half-baked.

I wonder if Hangouts is too deeply rooted in GMail and G+ or something to overhaul, like they literally can't do anything to the system without ripping the whole thing apart.

Not strictly android related, but a potential phishing attack to watch out for in Lastpass.

I currently have a Google Music subscription here in the US but what happens if I travel abroad to Europe? Will I still be able to listen to the music I added to my playlists / library?

I believe you'll only have access to the music that country has access to. It's geoblocked like Netflix AFAIK

I use Telegram with my friends so I also sometimes use it to send links to myself.

yeah, a while ago I believe. ASFAIK even if you're using the Facebook app it will force you to get messenger separately?
