If you use Linux then OTPClient works great with Aegis since it can open Aegis export files directly. I've set up Aegis to make an export whenever I change something, I sync the exports automatically to my PC, and I open them with OTPClient there.
OTPClient can ask for the export password each time you open it and will close itself automatically if it's not used for a while.
You can also use it to export the 2FA codes further in various formats, show the QR code for any of them, and all kinds of useful features like that.
But wow, those NFTs. It's cute that they're trying to create an incentive for donation, and I appreciate that whoever they outsourced that project to, they (allegedly) employed and artist and not a machine to make the components of the artwork... But it would have been a lot less cringe if they had done it in-house and not thrown it onto a blockchain (all use of one validates their use and helps create "value" for them, after all.)
Twilio, Authy’s parent company, is also moving Authy’s customer support hub to the help center on Twilio’s website after January 15th, 2024.
Twilio says it made the decision to sunset its desktop app to “streamline our focus and provide more value on existing product solutions for which we see increasing demand.” The company laid off 5 percent of workers in December 2023, and it just announced on Monday that it has replaced its CEO.
Authy desktop was extremely useful when my phone broke during an international trip, and getting a new one obviously took some time due to well.. being abroad.
I wish more developers would click that little checkbox in AppStore connect and allow their iPhone / iPad apps to run on the Mac. It’s pretty damn handy.
An updated support page spotted by Bleeping Computer says Authy’s app on Windows, macOS, and Linux will go away in August 2024.
However, Authy is one of the only 2FA apps available for desktop, making it an ideal choice when you want to sign into an account on your computer without having to get out your phone.
If you have a Mac with M1 or M2 silicon, Authy says you’ll still be able to download the iOS version of the app on your device.
Otherwise, Authy recommends switching to the mobile version instead, which you can automatically sync with the app on your computer.
If you’d rather switch apps altogether, it’s worth noting that Authy doesn’t come with an export feature.

I have been meaning to get off of them on mobile for my MFA tokens for awhile now, but haven't been able to bring myself to go through the effort. I really need to, I have been expecting any day now that Authy was going to go subscription or go away completely once Twilio got into the equation.
One issue I had was authy kept trying to auto update from the old version any time I was in the setup process and it would cease to function, forcing me to restart it, and then it was updated.
All I did was go to the appdata folder in windows where it was installed and I found different folders for the specific version and I just opened a terminal there and ran it with the argument defined in the guide and it worked fine.
Good! One proprietary Electron app less on this world.
Seriously, for generating one-time codes do we really need whole web engine underneath, a network connection and whole company based on it? Those things should not weight more than a couple of kilobytes plus a vector icon.
