They also stopped supporting their desktop app, forcing users back onto a single point of failure: the mobile app.
If Twilio isn't going to support Authy in good faith, they should stop holding their remaining users hostage.
Google Authenticator has done this before too, way back in 2013: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6325760
Google Authenticator and some other 2FA apps allow the user to export their tokens to other apps so you don't need to redo TOTP on every website.
The most secure method is to only have tokens on the 2FA device and to avoid using TOTP backup/restore altogether (or manually copy the tokens on a secondary 2FA device). It's a tradeoff between security vs. convenience.
After that, it was vaults that were easily exportable and backed up all the way (like most password managers).
Highly recommended by a highly satisfied user.
They refuse to start the app on GrapheneOS literally because they cannot be arsed, offloading the claim of security of the handset to Google (which says an old handset not patched in the last 8 years is secure, but the most recent, best patched OS is not).
When the shit hit the fan Authy even removed the way to export the seeds from the desktop version of the app. Big FU to customers.
Never again.

> Much to my surprise, when checking the App Store page, I saw that an update to the app had been approved by Apple only 14 minutes prior. I downloaded the update, tapped upon one of the previously "locked" items, and entered my backup password. Boom, the previously locked 2FA codes were now unlocked and restored, ready for use.
Or what is the purpose of your comment? :)
