nikunjkumarnakum,

@majorlinux There are no hopes from proprietary apps if they alter the deal no worries. Try @ente authenticator app it has native desktop and mobile apps good thing is its completely free and opensource. https://github.com/ente-io/auth

As #twilio is sunsetting their #authy desktop apps, I am wondering if there are any open source #2fa apps out there that support both desktop and mobile, maybe even Apple Watch...? Twilio still supports the mobile apps, but I don't want to get caught unprepared if they ever drop those, too.

nikunjkumarnakum,

@root42 yes indeed there is a Foss option try @ente authenticator its free and opensource, has mobile and desktop apps. It also supports cross device sync. https://github.com/ente-io/auth #authy #ente

If you use #Authy for 2-factor authentication, please be aware that since March 19th (I might be off for a couple days though) the desktop apps will be discontinued. So basically they force you to use mobile apps or nothing. I don't know about you, but for me it's totally unacceptable behavior. I tried the desktop app and didn't like it (because it's basically a web version wrapped in an executable), but I know people who use them namely because they have a desktop app. If I were you, I would migrate to something else just because it's not how good business is done.
Support article about it on their website: https://support.authy.com/hc/articles/17592416719003 (thanks @twynn for the link!)

nikunjkumarnakum,

@menelion @twynn Migrate to @ente authenticator its foss and and way better alternative to authy, also is available on variety of mobile and desktop platforms. https://github.com/ente-io/auth/releases

"You may have previously seen an August 19, 2024, end of life (EOL) date for Twilio Desktop Authy apps. This date has been moved up to March 19, 2024."

Thats... helpful? Announce an EOL date for software and then once people have planned for that, abandon the date and bring it forward. Granted #Twilio #Authy was a terrible and unreliable bit of software, but still. Bringing the EOL forward 6 months leaving just one month to deal with the change is crap.

nikunjkumarnakum,

@CenturyAvocado no worries @ente is a viable option for all you 2fa needs it has desktop app and native mobile support. You can import and export 2fa backups to and from ente. https://github.com/ente-io/auth/releases

Tech Tip: With #Authy retiring its desktop app, people are looking to switch 2FA apps. Unfortunately, Authy offers no way to export your tokens. But I was able to use the portable app on this page to export and transfer all my codes. #technology #cybersecurity
https://www.token2.com/site/page/how-to-transfer-totp-profiles-from-authy-to-a-token2-hardware-token

nikunjkumarnakum,

@orci you can migrate to an app which lets you migrate you codes try @ente its foss abd is available on all major mobile and desktop platforms. https://github.com/ente-io/auth/releases

I am so glad I moved from #Authy to #Bitwarden a year or so ago, precisely because of declining #desktop support. Now the decline has an death date: August 2024. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/twilio-will-ditch-its-authy-desktop-2fa-app-in-august-goes-mobile-only/

nikunjkumarnakum,

@mjgardner @ente is here on all major mobile and desktop platforms its foss. has e2e cross device sync and much more great feature compared to authy. https://github.com/ente-io/auth/releases

Switched to now is winding down desktop support. Never liked not being able to properly backup my TOTP codes anyway.

nikunjkumarnakum,

@jbaert I switched to @ente its foss like 2fas and has desktop app on all major platforms and mobile platforms. https://github.com/ente-io/auth/releases
