Moving Authy to 1Password

1Password 5.3 for OSX, 5.2 for iOS, and 4.1.0.538 for Windows support OTP. I've been using Authy for a while now, but the fact is, I haven't really been using 2FA for some time. As mentioned by 1Password in a recent blog post, having the OTP generator and password on the same device is very much not 2FA. It's just an expiring OTP, which can help, but let's not kid ourselves too much.

Now, enable Developer mode in Chrome. We'll need this to inspect the background application that stores al

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.
