Authy Is Sunsetting Its Desktop Authenticator Apps on March 19, 2024

I tried using Bitwarden to store TOTP and it needs a paid account. Did I mess it up or has this changed?

Also, using the Raycast extension for Authy totally gets around not having a desktop app on MacOS.

$10 a year is cheap as chips. Download the separate app if you’re that cheap. https://apps.apple.com/za/app/bitwarden-authenticator/id6497335175

Judge me as you wish. You have no idea of my context.

So I was right, and this is a paid feature. Thanks, that's all I needed to know. /off to set the budget

They do provide a free alternative.

To the 2FA? I use the app daily, and am considering hosting my own server (Vaultwarden). Not sure if these would work together though.

Also, I'm happy to use Authy via Raycast and on my phone. It does the job beautifully.

/EDIT
I'm lazy. If it works, don't mess with it.
