   #Authy is shutting down its #desktop app

   Authy is a a #2fa / #MFA authentication app, though one that is not recommended in the #privacy space primarily because it does not offer easy export of codes (making it difficult to switch apps) and is closed source.

   However, many people used it because it was one of the only apps not integrated into a password manager that allowed easy syncing across different devices.

   I am urging any Authy users/holdouts to switch to an #opensource alternative that allows exporting 2FA secrets.

     Sure do. I am really enjoying 2FAS, but there’s also Aegis (which is Android only).

     If you need/want desktop+mobile compatibility, Bitwarden Premium is great.

     More recs (all #opensource):
