the way you explain things is so easy to understand...thanks!

Thanks very much for this. i struggled trying to figure out what to do on my iPhone and now I get it, although you weren't actually explicit about using your computer for one part of this and your phone for the other. I got it fixed now. :)

Authy has a phone and pc app. It works just like google, however you can set it up on more than 1 device. If you lose your phone, it's still on your pc/laptop. Just remember, once set up on your devices, you should disable "enable/disable new installs". This stops anyone else adding your account to their device. If you want to add a device just turn enable it. Using Authy correctly will mean that you never NOT have access to your 2fa codes.

I understood nothing, although you explained it in a nice and friendly voice. Thanks for helping.
But I already spend a lot of time, setting up passwords and typing codes. As if that's not enough. Should I spend a lifetime verifying codes that verify authenticity which verifies passwords which in turn verify that I am who I am? I already have millions of passwords and applications for a bunch of stuff and spend time daily verifying everything I ever need to access, and even after accessing sites and applications, I still have to re-verify over and over who I am every few minutes of my
It got to the point of me hating these processes and losing interest in them so much that I can't force myself to understand anything. My brain is locked out of curiosity about these phenomena involuntarily, so no matter what you say now, I understand nothing of it. 😫😫😫😫 If I could understand it in one minute, I would. But I already spend five hours today trying to figure and understand something with this authentication, and now I feel like I lost five hours of my lifetime by throwing them away into nothingness, which lead me nowhere.
Your video was my last hope, but even this one lasted 10 mins, and I still understand nothing after it. So, there's 10 more minutes of life gone down the drain. Of gosh, and now another 10+ minutes wasted for just writing this very comment😡😡😡😡😡
I'm going to work out now. Enough wasted time for

What I also do is take a screenshot of the code you initially scan into the authenticator and save it to two disconnected flash drive. This way it's easy to scan the codes back in on a new device. I also recommend adding the authenticator to every phone and tablet you own.

I wish there was a way to set it up on all accounts, many don't offer it

Can one set it up on the desktop if one does not have a cell phone?

You should not "back up" your 2FA key with last pass, you should print out the QR code on a sheet of paper and throw it in a vault if you want to back up your 2FA.

Very good video and like the doggie in the background

[frankstone]

Question.. Do you "export" the account while the new phone is adjacent the old? Or is the export process a file that is saved to your computer?
