Two-Factor Authentication News • Authy

So today we are proud to release into public beta the new Authy Desktop. A standalone desktop 2FA app for both macOS and Windows (Linux coming soon) and it doesn’t depend on any specific browser. We also took the opportunity to design a new UI that allows you to view your 2FA accounts either in a grid or list view, as well as a new search bar to quickly find accounts. These features will migrate their way into the mobile apps as well.

It uses electron from what I see. Which means that the app is >50MB.

They will get rid of the mobile apps as well I am sure. Twilio hates the Authy brand. Chrome extension, support pages, the desktop app, and the API are already gone.

I was using it just for desktop app. Gotta find a good alternative now. .-.

Moved everything from Authy to Safeincloud since they have added support.

I had a hard time explaining 2fa to someone who is using Microsoft Business account for mail where they made it mandatory. Passkey se to hai tauba.
