Comment on Authy corrupted my 2FA backup and all I got was this lousy blogpost

Comments

If not for a backup on the very old, insecure phone, Authy would cut me off from my codes.

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.
