This may be the only "official" way to sign in, but it's not the only option. MyGovID just does TOTP with SHA512, so assuming you have a TOTP app that doesn't just do SHA1 (I use FreeOTP+, but there are plenty of other options), you can use the tool that this clever human wrote, that basically pretends to be the MyGovID app for the purposes of set-up, and gives you a regular QR-code to feed to your TOTP app: https://github.com/abrasive/mygov-totp-enroll
