Twilio Authy

The cloud backup feature is “chef kiss”. Sad the PC app have to shutdown, but authy is a lifesaver and to an extent better than many 2FAs app.

Can anyone plz help me as my moms mobile broke then she bought a new one but I lost the back up codes and access and I can’t log in

I have selected discord for 2 Factor authentication but when i use authy to get code. It crashes!☹️

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.

I had to find out about a huge data leak Authy had through the media. Weeks after it happened still no official communication about what happened to my data and what remedies are being put in place. Security apps need trust. That trust was damaged.
