New Phone? Lost Phone? Our Multi-Device Feature Keeps You 2FA-Ready!

What's this blog post about?

Authy's Multi-Device feature allows users to access their two-factor authentication (2FA) tokens on multiple devices, preventing lockout situations due to lost or damaged phones. This feature enables synchronization of 2FA tokens between devices and can be used for migrating tokens from one trusted device to another without needing individual reconfiguration. Users should enable Multi-Device by following a step-by-step guide, then disable it after installation on two devices for added security. Authy ensures local encryption of authentication tokens and recommends password protection on devices used for authentication.
