Real unfortunate news for GrapheneOS users as Revolut has decided to ban the use of 'non-google' approved OSes. This is currently being posted about and updated by GrahpeneOS over at Bluesky for those who want to follow it more closely.

Edit: had to change the title, originally it said Uber too but I cannot find back to the source of ether that's true or not..

Authy sucks anyway.

Someone told Me it sucks aswell but why simplified? Maybe they got of the desktop app or no exporting hmmm

Yeah those are the main reasons. It's also proprietary, and the only way you to create an account/back up your stuff is by entering a phone number, which isn't exactly great for privacy.

Authy has now long gone out of favor...

Yk what i agree, kinda dont like how authy discontinued the desktop app (and i kinda wish i can find a open source and free auth app that supports linux and android ik you can do it in bitwarden but you need to self host or pay), sad they went through this route for other reasons aswell was one of my favourite app.

And the worst - they don't allow export. Even as a workaround.

Bitwarden personal, smallest, is free though?

I self host, but I'm aware that this isn't for everyone.

The problem is:

Obligatory warning in regards to Authy: Be careful with Authy. If you delete Authy account it will invalidate all 2FA tokens that use Authy as a backed (it's the service they offer) even if you move them to a different app. Example: I moved my Twitch 2FA to BitWarden then when it was verified working I deleted my Authy account. Once deletion went through (there is 1 month delay) I lost access to my Twitch account. At no point was I informed that this will be the case. Twitch does offer Authy specific 2FA with notifications but I used the standard TOTP option that does not mention Authy anywhere on the site. If moving from Authy I recommend removing TOTP from all accounts, deleting Authy account and only enabling TOTP again after Authy account was confirmed deleted.
