It's called clickbait.
More fluffed crap to flood the internet but of course
I'm still baffled at the logo redesign to what looks like a butthole. Like, you're telling me NO ONE on the design team watched Community?
Always looked like a snowflake for me
At least it's an inclusive rainbow butthole, lol
TRUST THE SECURE RAINBOW BUTTHOLE
It just looks like a colored * to me. /shrug
Previously, you long-pressed on those six digits in the account list to copy to your clipboard.
With last week’s Google Authenticator update, a simple tap is how you copy those codes. (That being said, we’ve noticed that a long-press sometimes still works in version 7.0, but it’s inconsistent and the single tap is clearly the intended behavior.) A single touch is definitely simpler, but users have to adjust to this.
Google Auth and Authy lock you in, consider migrating to Aegis or Ente Auth.
Aegis is excellent
Don't most password managers also have TFA builtin?
Yes but from a security perspective, that's like putting your house keys with your photo ID that has your address.
It's too bad Ente doesn't have any browser extensions, because it sounds pretty awesome otherwise.
How? Codes can easily be exported from Google Authenticator (never tried Authy).
when i had to do it, they could only be exported to another google auth via QR code. I was forced to recreate the codes on every service.
Someone made a parser for the Google QR codes and now some apps can import them directly. I switched to aegis this weekend and it worked perfectly.
If you need a third party app to extract the private key, then it isn't actually open. It's just the step before Google encrypts the output.
Thank you! I was wondering why long presses were no longer working.
