Are you serious? This makes no sense. Does that mean Authy won't work if it has no internet connection? That would be an important limitation. I hear they do backup the seeds for 2FA. But why is that not optional?
- tracker1 11y agoIt is optional... but by validating your phone number, when you install the app, on for instance your tablet, you can authenticate the device. Backup is optional, with a client-side passphrase for encryption. It's not like it's the only app for this, 2FA/OTP is well documented with libraries in a number of languages. Is far as invasive goes, given what it is for, it's a pretty decent application.
