That makes it clear. Authy is an unacceptable piece of software.

Dammit, I've got a lot to migrate then. Another time-consuming project for the sake my damn'd ideals.

Authy was my escape from Google Auth.

Relatedly, does anyone know about 2fas.com ? They have a very nice app and a lot of installs but it's unclear how well vetted the oss is.

Yeah, kind of surprising. I guess it's a private company that manages your 2FA code backups, and they could theoretically lock you out.

I avoid Authy for a different reason: after upgrading phones, my backup password (which is 100% correct, trust me) is not unlocking my archive. I switched over to iCloud Keychain and will never look back.

I use google authenticator. I backup the QR code in the TrueCrypt vault when I add a new account to the google auth. I am not sure how secure it is, but I am very scared of losing access to google authenticator.
