"Authy" or Goole 2FA??

in #twofactor7 years ago (edited)

My answer will be very clear and sharp.
Authy why? The answer to this is very simple, you can back up the two-step codes on a cloud without fear of losing the phone in GA 2FA if you lose your phone and you didn't write the 16 string letters and numbers , you just fucked...

If you do not know what 2-step verification is, please go to this video

One of my friends lost his laptop and two-step backup codes, so he could not access the accounts that require 2-step verification. Fortunately, he managed to renew all the codes he had and obtained the private keys

Anyone who maintains Google's two-step verification application must know what it will do if the phone disappears.

I'm looking for a way to back up the Google application but if I have to, I'll go to the Authy app that allows you to scan Google barcodes and back them up on a cloud.

In the days we keep everything on the Internet and our money it is very important to know to back up the two-step code.

A final and unambiguous recommendation.
Authy.
if someone has a way to upload the data of this app ( google 2fa) to cloud and save the codes on a cloud i will be very thanksful if he will put a link below im working on it and if i'll find I will share for SURE!

Wow! this is something new for me and #authy will really help me to understand the things in more better way.

Thanks for letting us know about this @amiramnoam

You always come up with innovation for which i am a huge admirer of you :)

Stay Blessed, Have a nice weekend!

Thanks Noam, I'm using Google's method because I use binance and they offered this option so I took it. Do they have the second option? Will have to check it 🤗

For rooted phones you have the option to backup the app on the computer but it isn't the most simple thing in the world to do:

authy עובד
על כל מה שגוגל עובד..
מצאתי למכשירים עם root
אני מחפש למכשירים רגילים

אחלה, אתקין אותו :)
ניסיתי לחפש ולא מצאתי עוד פתרונות :( רק העניין עם קוד הגיבוי שאליו התייחסת :/

Totally agree but I will add that it's a shame that Google hasn't already implemented it although there is a big claim and concern from Google Authenticator users community.

I would expect Google of all people to have better way to retrieve 2FA codes, I hope their product team picks this up as soon as possible.

Great content. Google 2FA has been so easy to use I haven't thought of looking for an alternative.

but it's really hard to backup
only if you have the 16 string letters..

I support you until the end very nice post you are right @amiramnoam

Great post! Thanks for that smart and brillient post. Post more. I follow and upvote you.

Always authy since its phone independent. I wish we could have it for steemit.

Thanks for the information, have a nice day.

I discovered this the hard way when I got a new phone and factory reset my old one to give to someone. I made the mistake and assumed that the GA would cloud save like everything else google on my phone
