   "Unlike most two-factor authenticator apps, Authy supports multi-device synchronization. The company says that the 2FA tokens for your accounts are stored in the cloud securely, locked behind your phone number and the password you chose to encrypt the data
   [...]
   Now, if you want to export tokens from Authy and switch to a different authenticator app, it's going to be a little difficult as Authy does not have an export option. That's because the company believes allowing access to 2FA account tokens is a security risk
   [...]
   You can follow this guide on GitHub, to use Authy desktop app version 2.2.3 to export the tokens"

   2FA in the cloud has to be one of the biggest oxymorons ever. the funniest thing about this is to escape there totally secure walled garden with your data you need to run random 3rd party scripts :zt_laugh: who could have guessed using a proprietary locked down application for a open standard like TOTP could make problems down the line :yui_shrug:
