This is the best summary I could come up with:
An updated support page spotted by Bleeping Computer says Authy’s app on Windows, macOS, and Linux will go away in August 2024.
However, Authy is one of the only 2FA apps available for desktop, making it an ideal choice when you want to sign into an account on your computer without having to get out your phone.
If you have a Mac with M1 or M2 silicon, Authy says you’ll still be able to download the iOS version of the app on your device.
Otherwise, Authy recommends switching to the mobile version instead, which you can automatically sync with the app on your computer.
If you’d rather switch apps altogether, it’s worth noting that Authy doesn’t come with an export feature.
Twilio says it made the decision to sunset its desktop app to “streamline our focus and provide more value on existing product solutions for which we see increasing demand.” The company laid off 5 percent of workers in December 2023, and it just announced on Monday that it has replaced its CEO.
