I realized long time ago that I don't want my 2FA be tied to my phone number. And then i found you can't export your data from Authy because they know they are scummy fucks and don't want to anyone to leave

~~I used this method to export my twitch 2FA to Aegis. although I did this a few years ago, I think it still works~~

Edit: reading though comments made me realise Authy's desktop app doesnt seem to be a thing anymore, so sadly I dont think it works anymore

Wow, that was one of the things that drew it to me in the first place. I break phones too frequently to feel comfortable leaving everything to them.
