Authy makes it hard to migrate away. Anyone know how to get the seed of the 2FA codes? Is there really no export option?

Some months ago, I used https://github.com/alexzorin/authy to export them. It basically creates a dummy-device to access the tokens, and then exports them to some format. But I have not figured out how to import them now into another app.
Use the plaintext export option on that project. Most TOTP apps should accept the URIs that are exported. Maybe not en-masse but individually for sure.
Ah, thank you, that worked in Aegis. I just missed the option for plaintext because of the long list of supported apps. So all it needs is a textfile with one otpauth://-entry per line and it imports them all at once.
I slowly migrated away from Authy when they decided to shut down their desktop authenticator. You can painfully export codes, though I generated new 2FA codes at every vendor.
I thought I had a lot of totp codes to migrate but then it turned out I didn't use many of them. After deducting them, there remained 10 apps that I needed to migrate. It took me an hour to port them to bitwarden manually.
Maybe? https://gist.github.com/gboudreau/94bb0c11a6209c82418d01a59d...
Authy desktop is no longer available and you need a specific version.

I had that exact needed version when I migrated, if you need it, I can look it up, but there’s a slim chance that I deleted it.
Just write down any key before you store it in the Authy.
You'll have to reset them one by one.
I finished that process recently for 50+ accounts. It's something that I would definitely wish on my worst enemy.
Ha! when I finished mine, I actually bought myself some treats and snacks for celebration.
