AuthyReviews of authy.com

Ending PC support is scummy as can be. I used Authy originally because I do not want to get my phone out every time I log into an account... It also doesn't have an export feature so it's a hell of a job to change over probably 20-30 accounts...

Authy is the face of your impending enslavement. It's an app on your own device (e.g. windows machine) that you can't screen snip or screenshot (go ahead try it, you cannot), demonstrating that we have already entered the phase in which you don't even control your own computer. And instead of providing an alternative to cell phone verification, you must use a cell phone to use Authy. So it provides no value and only enables the surveillance grid to track you more effectively across more devices. I'm sure that the psychopaths of society like Nikki (Nimrata) Haley love this sort of technology so they can make sure all dissidents are identified and punished, we should resist it.

Doesn't allow data portability, self cloud hosting, is not open source. I deleted my account and switched to Aegis and 2FAS. Migration requires technical skills, since export is no possible from Authy. Account deletion process is not smooth. Their SMS's don't get delivered to some countries.

Lost tokens upon device change This has already happened twice. I lost the access to all of my tokens (including important work ones).

Authy is the best way to lock you out from ALL your accounts in a minute. Then you are REALLY LOST. Thanks Wanna know what happened? So, my phone got replaced (I made a backup btw.) The Authy backup never worked Somewhen I gave up, luckily I was able to log in from my old phone 1 last time and TURN OFF 2-fact-auth ..otherwise my access to all my web-domains would have been gone. Authy never worked again. I tried half a year later, thought I am going to install it again..but eeeeh, password to my backup does not work. Erased the APP, tried to install again. Eeeeh, they blocked my device for "multipel device" WHAT A §$&%$§" is that APP It is the best way to lock you out from everything. Once your phone is gone you are in hell. Now they say they will wait 24 hours to review my account and phone. They say I can re-set my password, but there is no link to do so. They give you a ERROR message in the APP, but its 12 lines written text and they show you the error message exaclt for 1/2 a second. GREEEEAAAAT I CAN NOT FUKCING READ IT IN HALF A SECOND, THERE IS a URL I NEED TO WRITE DOWN. What a useless crap

Don't listen to any positive reviews, they have never had to deal with customer support. Authy's customer support is a maze of redirections within their FAQs, even the chat bot will attempt to redirect you to different topics at least five times before finally allowing you to send a message to their support service. If you don't change your phone, or number, or PC, then i am sure Authy works fine, but one hiccup and the app is busted, your account locked, and no one from Authy will actually be in touch with you, just auto replies and FAQs. Best find another service.

The mobile app itself is fine, but it locks you in which is unacceptable, and the desktop app is very bad

Authy was corrupted during migration to a new phone. I lost the backup password(s). There is no way to get access to an Authy account without a backup password. You then lose access to all accounts linked to Authy MFA and 2FA codes. I have had to create new accounts with every app that used Authy. You will lose all control of your accounts and associated data if you use Authy. Support is almost non-existent. There is a lapse of 2 - 4 days between emails. Only business users get support. BEWARE.
