You can, though. But not through their app. Someone reverse engineered their protocol and wrote a program that connects like a new client, which you then approve, and it dumps all your random seeds into a text file. I then put them all into Keepass.

Edit: Unfortunately, the author has deprecated the project as Authy has added some attestations to their API, seemingly for this exact issue. https://github.com/alexzorin/authy?tab=readme-ov-file

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.

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.

Do you know what it’s called? I’d like to do this if possible.
