Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export to tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.

As mentioned by 1Password in a recent blog post, having the OTP generator and password on the same device is very much not 2FA. It's just an expiring OTP, which can help, but let's not kid ourselves too much.

With that out of the way. One of the things that was interesting to me was moving my OTP out of Authy and into 1Password. I like the control I get with 1Password, but I didn't want to have to reset all my OTP right away, that would suck. So, I got to dissecting the Authy Chrome App to see what I could do.

Run the Authy Chrome app and make sure it's unlocked.

Now, enable Developer mode in Chrome. We'll need this to inspect the background application that stores al
