Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️
An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭
Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

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.
