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.

When you do your first Sonar run on your project, you get a lot of new quality numbers to play with, but no trends. You only have one data set for comparison, the now picture.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could see the current trend of the project without waiting a couple of month for the 'daily/weekly' Sonar runs to fill up the data? Well, you're in luck! And if you're using git as a version system as well, this is your day. :)

In the Sonar Advanced Parameter documentation you will find a System Property called sonar.projectDate. The property let you tell Sonar when in time the running analysis was ran.

By combining this property and what your version system does best, track changes to source, we can now play back the history of the project as far as Sonar is concerned.

This little Bash script illustrates the concept. To spell out what it does in human readable form:

    'reporter' => 'chef-server-automate',
    'fetcher' => 'chef-server',
    'profiles' => [
      {
        'name' => 'linux-patch-baseline',
