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.

	# ## Backbone model caching
	# This is a simple solution to the problem "how do I make less requests to
	# my server?".
	#
	# Whenever you need a model instance, this will check first if the same thing
	# has been fetched before, and gives you the same instance instead of fetching
	# the same data from the server again.
	#
	# Reusing the same instance also has the great side-effect of making your
	# model changeable from one part of your code, with your changes being available
