You do realise that with authy you're just registering TOTP stuff right? It's not on the same level as what you're mentioning. It's like complaining about havin

- feld 12y agoThen why do they need an account or my phone number to do TOTP?
- mmebane 12y agoYes, that's definitely unfortunate. I don't remember it being required with older versions of the Authy app. I really hate forced cloud service integration, especially in applications that deal with sensitive material.
- rtpg 12y agothey don't, but they want to have a way to verify who you are for things like the sync feature. Even if you don't want to use the feature. This is a pretty good example of not doing something because it represents a minority and would make onboarding more difficult for their actual value-add.

- A_COMPUTER 12y agoBecause Cloudflare requires Authy, not TOTP. It's a pain in my ass because Cloudflare doesn't have sub-accounts and I have more than one person managing a Cloudflare account, but Authy is locked to one device. So as a result I can't turn on two-factor on my Cloudflare account.
