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.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

This user script adds “Group by User”, “Sort by Date”, and “Load until...” buttons to the Twitter web app. I'm so tired of Twitter (and Facebook and Google+) not remembering the read state for my posts. My solution in the past was GTweet which allowed me to import my tweets into Google Reader, and Google Reader would happily keep track of all of the tweets I hadn't read yet. I also wrote a user script that added buttons to Reader which allowed me to group/sort the tweets by user to allow me to much more quickly read through them; inpiration for this came from Steve Souders:

Wrote bookmarklet to sort Twitter stream by account. Love it for my early morning massive catchup. #MyWebMyWay
