[QUOTE="Jonny Quest, post: 1067703, member: 99434"] Are you talking about them being hacked (sort of) last year? But even then, if they had my keys, they would still need to know my logins and passwords to hack a site. I'm not trying to hijack or sidetrack RoboMan's thread, but I use Authy too, especially for its desktop app which also acts as a backup, and am wondering if I'm missing something else?
