    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.

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