@cliffwade Just remember to back up your seeds. I have recently taken a paranoid approach to TOTP backup. I store my seeds in 1Password, Yubico Authenticator (on my Yubikey 5 NFC), and in Raivo OTP (iOS, optionally synced with iCloud). I also exported an encrypted backup out of Raivo and put it in both iCloud and on an external USB stick. I am considering doing something similar with passwords, but I don't know how to approach that yet.
@cliffwade I moved all my 2FA from andOTP to KeePassXC and now I don't need to take out my phone to get the 2FA working and its shared between all my devices together with the rest of the passwords.
@cliffwade Oh interesting. I have upgraded my
Phones and never had issues. Mainly because it’s all backed up and I can approve a new device from an existing one (including desktop). I’m surprised it was such a hassle and that sucks.
So what did you move to and why is it better? Genuinely asking.
Personally I’ve begun SLOWLY adding 2FA tokens to iCloud because safari will auto fill them for me. But of course it’s a pain in the ass. I am sure there’s no way to migrate them either.
@cliffwade Nice. Very cool. I do worry about putting passwords and tokens in a single spot. Just worries me about losing everything without a safety net. Another reason I’m skeptical about moving my entire 2FA setup to iCloud.
You can’t be making statements like that without more context or examples. Because google, Microsoft, iCloud, and Authy all (AFAIK) have no export mechanisms in place. And if that’s “user hostile” then it’s not an Authy problem, it’s a 2FA app industry problem.
