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.

render	render	nope	please no	render stuff and don't set any state please
componentDidMount	domReady()	yup	yup	DOM is a go init jQuery plugins dispatch stuff
componentWillReceiveProps	onChange()	yup	yup

	# N.B. The only tool missing here that is mentioned in the document is `zenmap`
	# purely because this image is intended to be run via a CLI and `zenmap` is a GUI
	# to `nmap` i.e. one can play around with the tools by running:
	#
	# $ docker build --name bite_size_networking:latest .
	# $ docker run --rm -d --name bsn_test bite_size_networking:latest
	# $ docker exec -it bsn_test bash

	# Alternatively, one can change the `ENTRYPOINT` to `["bash"]` and run:
