AUTHY DESKTOP LINUX MANUAL
Is there a recommended solution for syncing Authy token labels and icons across devices or a better way to manually update tokens?Īsking this question rubber ducked me into two manual workarounds: These screens do not display the current 2FA code - so matching them to the correctly-labeled token on iOS difficult. While I can explicitly assign token labels and icons, this has to be done from Authy's Settings. I use the same email for multiple services, so generic token labels are unhelpful. On the Linux Desktop client, many labels are generic and display only my username or email address associated with the account. On iOS, Authy's tokens are labelled clearly by service. Is there a good solution for syncing Authy token labels and icons across devices? Multi Device Sync has made Authy a vast improvement for me over gAuthenticator and dedicated security fobs.
