I use Authy _because_ it provides cloud sync. At the time, Google Authenticator didn't have it, and when I had to change phones it was a real hassle. Imagine if the phone had been stolen, no way to access the account normally to get a new QR, you'd have to "recover" every account.
- huggingmouth 2y agoGood for you. Still doesn't answer gp's question. Why do we have to create a central account?
- ngetchell 2y agoYes it did. Authy provided cloud sync via phone number authentication. If you didn't want that, you stuck with Google Authenticator.
- giancarlostoro 2y agoI have been transferring Google Authenticator from phone to phone for years though? Going back to at least 2016, and that was 8 years ago. In 2020 I copied it from Android to iOS even by doing an export I had no idea was there.
