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.

The right way to override any highlighting if you don't want to edit the colorscheme file directly

Generalities first

Suppose you have weird taste and you absolutely want:

your visual selection to always have a green background and black foreground,
your active statusline to always have a white background and red foreground,
your very own deep blue background.

1.) Download a Nerd Font

2.) Unzip and copy to ~/.fonts

3.) Run the command fc-cache -fv to manually rebuild the font cache

Colours in terminal

It's a common confusion about terminal colours... Actually we have this:

plain ascii
ansi escape codes (16 colour codes with bold/italic and background)
256 colour palette (216 colours + 16 ansi + 24 gray) (colors are 24bit)
24bit true colour ("888" colours (aka 16 milion))

printf "\x1b[${bg};2;${red};${green};${blue}m\n"

Autofs on Mac OS X

With autofs you can easily mount network volumes upon first access to the folder where you want to mount the volume. Autofs is available for many OS and is preinstalled on Mac OS X so I show you how I mounted my iTunes library folder using this method.

Prepare autofs to use a separate configuration file

autofs needs to be configured so that it knows where to gets its configuration. Edit the file /etc/auto_master and add the last line:

#
# Automounter master map
#

+auto_master # Use directory service
