#    - loop through all lists in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
#      - read all lines with "deb..." that do not contain "[signed-by=]"
#      - download the GPG signature from the URL
#        - read the key ID from the signature
#        - download and saves the key using gpg
#      - add "[signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/...]" to the "deb..." line

Generating Authy passwords on other authenticators

---

*update: TBC, but this new might affect how easy it is to use this technique past August 2024: Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August

---

This gist, based in part on a gist by Brian Hartvigsen, allows you to export from Authy your TOTP tokens you have stored there.
Those can be "standard" 6-digits / 30 secs tokens, or Authy's own version, the 7-digits / 10 secs tokens.

First Method

Deleting the .git folder may cause problems in our git repository. If we want to delete all of our commits history, but keep the code in its current state, try this:

# Check out to a temporary branch:
git checkout --orphan TEMP_BRANCH

# Add all the files:
git add -A
