Twilio Authy

“Delete” button for accounts will be very useful

I lost access to many accounts because the app suddenly decided to require my phone and email! It is impossible to find out to which mail and phone the old accounts were linked! I had to restore access to cloudflare, github, digitalocean. I would rather use a less convenient but more reliable product from Google or Microsoft.

Bull sheet !!! Verification by sms or prone call !!! Whaaaat ? But if I have no gsm access ???!!!

Genuine trash least user-friendly app I’ve ever used I wanna gouge my own eyes out

Don’t install because you can’t export out in the future.

They were doing great until they discontinued their desktop app. That was the main selling point for me. I work in an environment where cell phones and smart watches are forbidden, so having the desktop app was a crucial aspect for me. Now I have to find a new app.

This is a very secure way to protect your account. There’s no one that can log into your account. I absolutely hate the horrible, almost indecipherable, fuzzy, hard to see pictures showing crosswalks, stairs, bicycles, cars , brudges, or motorcycles that I have to keep proving I am not a robot every time even after logging in from my same phone 1000 times!!!! It still thinks I am a robot using my cell phone and same ip, which is face ID protected anyway. Then the entire log in us also face-ID protected. .Then I have to get busy copy/pasting security numbers , using Face ID, switching from Authy to my exchange with a 15 second window of opportunity. My clipboard no longer wirks so I have to remember the 7 digit number. In order to withdraw money, I have to log in to Gemini app and go to Authy, find Authy messages, open message and approve my withdrawal. All in all, its very hard to use and I cuss a lot, but no one can get into your account. After using Authy for years, it’s still hard to use. But it’s super secure!! You won’t get in for a while either while you are figuring out how.

Look, I know there’s all theses 5 star reviews but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE ANY OTHER APP I have been trying to recover my password and turns out, it’s impossible to recover and now I have to endlessly guess what it is. So if I log out of discord I can never log back in Thanks authy :) (Fix your app)

Ironically, a two-step authentication service is not secure, as there was a data breach from Twilio that left tons of people’s data on the dark web. Do not use this.

Phone number and password was compromised in a massive data breach July 2024 Just use KeePass for any Password/OTP database. Learn to use local only managers that sync with mesh networks like Syncthing, don’t risk your credentials with stuff that’s on the cloud.
