I use Linux, Windows, MacOS; I’m everywhere. I’ve had Aegis as a backup of my tokens in case bullshit like this happened, but it’s still an amazingly stupid idea.
I started using 2 auth apps for replication once Authy stopped supporting the browser extension and set the precedent for this shite.
That’s a pretty nice setup tbh. At the moment my OTP is all offline, using Gnome Authenticator on my laptop, FreeOTP+ on my android, and an encrypted copy stored in a keepass on my keys (literally).
It’s a bit tedious to manage, but I didn’t want to get locked in with Google or Microsoft Authenticator - neither of which allow you to export your tokens AFAIK

Neat, at least you have a backup 👌 although I can imagine it’s probably going to be slightly annoying keeping those in sync now
My backups go to Google Drive and I then replicate the Aegis onto an old phone I keep hidden away.
Can you tell I’m a cloud systems engineer?
Edit: I lied; I also keep it replicated on an even older rooted phone.

Have you evaluated a Bitwarden & Vaultwarden setup?
I switched from authy to bitwarden for 2FA. Can highly recommend
