Twillio just announced they're discontinuing the Desktop version of their popular Two Factor Authentication client. Their proposed solution is for users to move to the mobile app, which of course doesn't fulfill the use case of people who explicitly chose Authy because it had a desktop client.

If you use Authy and depend on the Desktop client you will have to consider migrating to something else.

Are there a list of alternative desktop 2fa apps?
