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 your 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.

Pimping Up Your PowerShell & Cmder with Posh-Git, Oh-My-Posh, & Powerline Fonts

Backstory (TLDR)

I work as a full-stack developer at work. We are a Windows & Azure shop, so we are using Windows as our development platform, hence this customization.

For my console needs, I am using Cmder which is based on ConEmu with PowerShell as my shell of choice.

Yes, yes, I know nowadays you can use the Linux subsystem on Windows 10 which allow you to run Ubuntu on Windows. If you are looking for customization of the Ubuntu bash shell, check out this article by Scott Hanselman.

Register a domain name. Buy a cert for it.
Spin up Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 on AWS & point DNS at the instance. Don't bother making user accounts or anything; only somebody with your key should be able to ssh in. Add security group rules allowing https from anywhere, or maybe http if you want to redirect.
Make an EBS volume or raid up some instance stores and mount them on /mnt/mastodon, owned by ubuntu.
Download all the files in this gist to your local controlling host, e.g., your laptop.
Make a file named inventory with [general]\nyour-host.tld in it.
Put all of the *.conf files in this gist into a subdirectory named files.
Put your certs somewhere in the directory & make sure the ansible playbook services.yml is pointing to them.
Run ansible-playbook -i inventory host-setup.yml
Run ansible-playbook -i inventory mastodon.yml
you might get ruby 2.3.3 instead of 2.3.1 in which case you should just edit the Gemfile.
