Twillio just announced they’re discontinuing the Desktop version of their popular Two Factor Authentication client. Their proposed solution is for users to move to the mobile app, which of course doesn’t fulfill the use case of people who explicitly chose Authy because it had a desktop client.
If you use Authy and depend on the Desktop client you will have to consider migrating to something else.

Raivo FTW
Sold to Mobime months ago. The enshittification will happen eventually.
Bitwarden here I come lol I’m a bit worried about having both passwords and totp in one app tho
@jherazob@beehaw.org good thing I’ve already started moving my 2FA from Authy to Bitwarden (and Bitwarden has passkeys built-in).
I didn’t know Authy was a Twilio product. Anyway am glad I made the move to Aegis years back.
Never heard of Twilio… searched it up and still haven’t got a clue. What do they do?
If my memory serves me right, they do a bunch of application integrations for SMS and Phone calls.
Thankfully I’ve already switched to Bitwarden from them.
Glad I already migrated to using KeepassXC on the desktop for TOTP codes, partially out of frustration trying to use the Authy Linux desktop client.
And hey, now I own my data!
I’m (still) using the regular Keepass but that is indeed a nice feature, might consider switching to it for TOTP. Thank you!
If by “regular” you mean Keepass 2.0, then there is a plugin for TOTP.
