Hackers have no idea how valuable a

Hi friends. As we start into 2020, we were wondering which sites you use Authy on and which we should concentrate making new 2FA enablement guides for > See the ones already posted:
Please leave suggestions for new guides in the comments. Thanks.
Why use Authy
#2FA
? Because you may be one of the 327M
#Marriott
customers whose name, phone number, email address, passport number, date of birth, credit card number and expiration date may have been compromised.
The difference b/t Authy
#2FA
& Google Authenticator: You can access Authy tokens on your computer, tablet or phone and if you lose your phone, you’re not locked out. With
#GoogleAuth
, if you lose your phone, you lose your codes. Learn more:
Authy delivers
#authentication
through the free Authy app on mobile phones, desktop, or smart devices or, as a fallback, via SMS & voice automated phone calls. In addition,
#2FA
can be provided via
#pushnotification
on registered smartphones. Plus we got a
#newlogo
! :)
The security
#2FA
provides far outweighs any inconvenience. A recent study showed that users who enable 2FA on their endpoints end up blocking 99.9% of automated attacks. Requiring it lets orgs protect users, applications, networks, systems, and more from
#cyberattacks

One of the features that sets Authy apart from other authentication services is that you can keep many devices in sync, so if a device is lost or stolen, you won’t lose access to all your Authy-protected accounts. Here's how.
Given recent news about
#security
risks with Google Auth and other
#2FA
, it was nice to see that
@TheDavidMurphy
of
@Lifehacker
endorsed Authy as a go-to authentication app — for a whole lot of reasons! Thanks!
Very detailed article on
#TOTP
-based authentication apps from
@arstechnica
. They compared Authy, Duo & LastPass — as well as other
#2FA
apps.
Guess who came out on top? Chuffed!
One of the top reasons users switch from
#GoogleAuth
to Authy is our hassle-free multi-device support. But if you're only using 1 device for your
#2FA
, toggle-off "Allow multi-device" on your Authy app, to keep you even safer.
Google Authenticator and Authy
To combat the weakness of SMS,
@Authy
and
@google
provide 2FA Authenticator apps. With these, you pair your app with the service, and from then on, you must match the one-time code from your app to use the service
Way more secure!
Let's compare👇
Authy allows you to backup and sync your 2FA account tokens across multiple device and device types - phones, tablets and computers.
Here's how it works:
Good news: We've added a
#search
function to the Authy
