  • Just a heads up. There is no way to export from authy. So if you ever want to switch apps for whatever reason, lets say they were bought by big evil corp., then you would have to go and regenerate all your keys. Where as a good app would let you export and import from anywhere














  • Fair point, I misunderstood. Thought you were asking for more general points.

    As for enshitification, I suppose it started in 2015 when they were bought by LogMeIn (I looked it up), that’s where it generally always starts. Don’t know if the service degraded as I switched around that time. Though getting hacked twice in six months is pretty bad for a company guarding the publics secrets


  • They didn’t use strong encryption by default, Something about not enough iterations of whatever algorithm they use.

    They also got hacked (more than once) , which is roughly when they announced the encryption issue.

    I feel like they got bought by a shitty company too, but that’s beyond me.

    There have been reports that some of these vaults that were stolen have already been compromised, though not sure if there is any proof.
