Authy Desktop
Authy Desktop is a two-factor authentication (2FA) application that generates secure verification codes to protect your online accounts. Developed by Twilio, it serves as a companion to their mobile apps, allowing users to access their 2FA tokens from their Mac desktop. The app is popular among security-conscious users who want multi-device access to their authentication codes, with the ability to sync tokens across devices. It's commonly used to secure accounts on websites and services that support 2FA, providing an extra layer of security beyond just passwords.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionUnfortunately, Twilio discontinued the Authy Desktop app in August 2024, removing it from their download page and directing users to use only the mobile versions. Since this app is no longer supported or available for download, you'll need to switch to an alternative. The best native replacement is 2FA Authenticator by Matt Rubin, which runs natively on Apple Silicon and offers similar functionality for managing your 2FA codes on Mac. You'll need to manually re-add your accounts by scanning QR codes or entering setup keys, as there's no direct migration path from Authy Desktop.
