If you are using Authy with a chrome extension, you need to remove the extension. The extension wont provide an additional layer of security if they have access to your computer defeating the purpose of 2FA.


Just do not do this it provides you little to no security essentially the same as email 2FA.

And while I am at it Google voice and SMS 2FA is also a horrible idea.

Why do I bring it up I am sure you can guess.....folks do it get malware and get hacked so do not become an easy target.
