This prompted me to move away from Authy, and looking it up, it doesn't allow you to export your TOTP tokens. There were some workarounds but then have been plugged, I tried.
Mostly switched over to Bitwarden's equivalent. I've been using their password manager for many many years now and am very happy with it. They have an export feature in a few different formats.
I only ever used Authy as a single-item TOTP vault for BitWarden, but I moved off of it long before they ever mentioned the Windows app shutdown due to dissatisfaction with the UI. I just didn’t like their “card-like” interface, and they never offered a super-compact list-like interface. The card interface just wasted too much screen real estate, even on a desktop, and it just got immeasurably worse under mobile.
The work around did work however you needed to download an older archived version that was unpatched.
Yeah, I did that, but then it refused to let me log in, telling me the version was not secure or something.
Older versions appear to refuse to talk with their servers, at least that was the case for me.
