Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters link this post as a how-to for exporting tokens from the Authy Desktop app before it is discontinued, so the data can be migrated or backed up.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
A lovely dev blog from a simple man.
What Hacker News says?
PSA: Authy Desktop is being killed off this year, which could mean the last opportunity to export your tokens out of Authy (for migration, or for external backup) There are a few gists floating around regarding how to export by remote chrome debugging an older version of Authy desktop app, which still worked for me recently. This page explains too: https://jaketrent.com/post/export-authy-desktop-data/
