We delve into the essential task of exporting multi-factor authentication (MFA) codes from the Twilio Authy desktop application, which, while the Android and iOS versions remain operational, is regrettably being phased out. For many, the desktop app has been a cornerstone in securing access to various online services through MFA codes. However, with the discontinuation announcement, users are faced with the daunting prospect of potentially having to manually reset MFA settings on each of their accounts - a time-consuming and meticulous process.

Recognising the gap left by the lack of an official export feature within Authy's desktop version, this video steps in as a crucial guide. We meticulously walk you through a straightforward, yet effective method to extract your TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) codes or QR codes directly from the Authy desktop application. This not only preserves the integrity of your secured accounts but also ensures a smooth transition to another authenticator application that continues to receive support.

This tutorial is designed to provide you with a clear, step-by-step process, ensuring that you can secure your online accounts without the need to individually reconfigure each of them.
