    It’s been two weeks na, hindi ko pa rin ma-access ang Authy account ko (not receiving SMS and calls from them). And then realized, I made token backups for offline use, thank goodness.

    Never ever use cloud based 2FA apps, especially Authy. There is a potential that accounts will locked out forever. I’m considering Aegis (exclusive Android app) for my TOTPs, and monthly backups.

    P.S. If you turned on your 2FA on your Lemmy account/s, Authy’s generated codes don’t work. So kung may access pa kayo sa accounts niyo, DISABLE it immediately, use another 2FA app like Aegis, 2FAS, Raivo.

      I thought only I had a problem with Lemmy and Authy not working together.

      I’ve never had any problems with Authy aside from this, actually, but I have also started to migrate to a different TOTP solution while still keeping it as a backup.

      It does suck that there’s no native way to get the TOTP secrets from the Authy app itself.

        You need to update your online accounts’ settings, one by one. Authy is a pain in the ass.
