#USE AUTHY DESKTOP INSTALL#
Install Authy desktop app (version 2.2.3 versions after that won't work).Important: You can NOT delete your Authy account, even after migrating your TOTP tokens to another software! If you do, you could be locking yourself out of all the accounts that require Authy! You can probably get rid of Authy on your phone and log in to Authy on your desktop using SMS.
#USE AUTHY DESKTOP HOW TO#
I am assuming you know how to use Authy and have some services added already. This method has only one gotcha - if you want add a new service that relies on Authy, you will need to run Authy again. Ok, that's nice, but I want to get rid of Authy now Authy for iOS (doesn't support other timeouts than 30s, the irony!).1Password for Windows (doesn't support other digit counts and timeouts yet).

The code should have 7 digits and should change every 10 seconds. If you are not sure, scan this code with your authenticator to test. So as long as you have an authenticator which can do longer passwords than 6 characters and do custom time periods, then congratulations, you can use the following method.

The passwords are one digit longer - 7 digits (usually they're 6, with exceptions), but if you've looked at one of the Authy generated passwords already, you probably noticed it too.They use the exact same algorithm to generate passwords as Google Authenticator and similar (TOTP).I had to adapt the code a little and you can see the result below, but here's what I discovered about Authy's method: My guess is that Brian used the code to extract the keys that weren't necessarily tied to Authy. But when I tried that code, nothing appeared on the screen.

If this was not possible, I guess people would be reverse engineering the Android app or something like that. His method is to extract the secret keys using Authy's Google Chrome app via Developer Tools. His post had a neat code with it to generate QR codes for you to use on your favorite authenticator. I couldn't find any completely working solutions, however I stumbled upon a gist by Brian Hartvigsen.

Since I use 1Password for all of my password storing/generating needs, I was looking for a solution to use Authy passwords on that. However many users who aren't using Authy, have their own authenticator setup up already and do not wish to use two applications for generating passwords. There is an increasing count of applications which use Authy for two-factor authentication. Generating Authy passwords on other authenticators

Notice: There are some issues with Snap apps not having full support for cvgroup v2, which Fedora and other distributions use by default. Linux app distribution is a pretty dense topic on its own, but we chose to use Snapcraft to give users an experience that includes: We used Snapcraft to build our Authy Desktop app for Linux so that we could reach as many Linux distributions as possible. To see installation instructions, and a list of the most common distros, see the Authy app page on Snapcraft. Other Linux distributions may also run the Authy app without issues, but we have not tested these, and won’t be able to respond to any issues you may encounter.
