Comment on Authy got hacked, and 33 million user phone numbers were stolen

People keep acting like Authy is betraying them by not having an export feature, but why exactly are you leaving Authy to begin with? Because they are a security risk?

You’re gonna leave Authy a copy of your seeds? That defeats the purpose.

Re-key your MFA codes on the way out. Security isn’t necessarily convenient.

Remind me to start a batch rekeying service.

  I can’t even begin to stress what a terrible idea that is. You absolutely don’t want to make bulk-rekeying possible unless you like getting all of your accounts compromised at once.

    If there’s a benefit to such a tool would bad actors have already developed one?

They got rid of the desktop app.

Also, with shouldn’t have your seeds. They’re encrypted before they are transmitted to their servers and only decrypted on the device.
