"Twilio's Deadline: Authy Desktop Apps to Shut Down Next Month"

Twilio-owned Authy Desktop authentication app is set to be discontinued on March 19, 2023, rather than the previously announced August 2024 date, prompting users to switch to mobile apps. Twilio suggested alternatives for desktop users, but the lack of an export feature in Authy means re-enabling 2FA in a new application. The decision has sparked disappointment and frustration among users, with some criticizing the move as "beyond absurd." Twilio's turbulent times, including CEO departure and layoffs, have added to the uncertainty surrounding the company.

"Twilio Announces End of Authy Desktop App, Shifts Focus to Mobile Authentication"

Authy, the two-factor authentication app, will discontinue its desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux in August 2024, directing users to switch to the mobile version instead. The move is part of Twilio's effort to streamline focus and provide more value on existing product solutions. Users with Macs with M1 or M2 silicon can still use the iOS version, while others are advised to switch to the mobile app and manually sync with their computer. Twilio is also relocating Authy's customer support hub to its own website after January 15th, 2024.

"Twilio Announces End of Authy Desktop App, Shifts Focus to Mobile Authentication"

Twilio, the vendor of the Authy authenticator app, will discontinue its desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux in August 2024, urging users to switch to the mobile version. The decision is part of a restructuring effort to focus on areas with higher demand. Users are advised to transition to the iOS or Google app, enable backups for synchronization, and inform platforms using Authy's API. Alternative desktop apps are suggested for those unable or unwilling to use a mobile device for 2FA, with cautionary steps outlined to avoid being locked out of accounts during the transition.
