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.

	After automatically updating Postgres to 10.0 via Homebrew, the pg_ctl start command didn't work.
	The error was "The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 9.6, which is not compatible with this version 10.0."

	Database files have to be updated before starting the server, here are the steps that had to be followed:

	# need to have both 9.6.x and latest 10.0 installed, and keep 10.0 as default
	brew unlink postgresql
	brew install postgresql@9.6
	brew unlink postgresql@9.6
	brew link postgresql
