Losing access to Authy leads to another reckoning with Google’s security model.

    This is a non-issue. Why not use Aegis and backup your own credentials? I wouldn’t trust Authy (or any 2FA app that includes cloud backup).

      Aegis all the way. Looked at authy and hardpassed after reading the permissions it requires. Your job is to calculate the OTP. You don’t need wifi access if you’re an offline OTP calculator.

        Authy is not an offline OTP. It syncs your tokens across devices.

          It can, but it doesn’t have to (or at least it didn’t used to). But if you ever choose to leave, you can’t export anything (or, at least you couldn’t). My statement is using old information, at least a year old, since that’s about when I hardpassed on them.

          Edit: correct autocorrect

          Just another reason not to use them. Non-synced tokens cannot be leaked.
