Generating Authy passwords on other authenticators

---

There is an increasing count of applications which use Authy for two-factor authentication. However many users who aren't using Authy, have their own authenticator setup up already and do not wish to use two applications for generating passwords.

Since I use 1Password for all of my password storing/generating needs, I was looking for a solution to use Authy passwords on that. I couldn't find any completely working solutions, however I stumbled upon a gist by Brian Hartvigsen. His post had a neat code with it to generate QR codes for you to use on your favorite authenticator.

His method is to extract the secret keys using Authy's Google Chrome app via Developer Tools. If this was not possible, I guess people would be reverse engineering the Android app or something like that. But when I tried that code, nothing appeared on the screen. My guess is that Brian used the

Cron Jobs Are Hard To Distribute

Watch out when scaling out instances with cron jobs on them. Cron jobs aren't designed for the cloud. If the machine image holding your cron job scales out to 20 instances, your cron job will be executed 20 times more often.

This is fine if the scope of your cron job is limited to the instance itself, but if the scope is larger, the above becomes a serious problem. And if you single out a machine to run those cron jobs, you run the risk of not having it executed if that machine goes down.

Basics

generate key in batch mode using a custom profile

gpg --gen-key --batch gpgspecs

create a file with your fingerprint info and display the related information. A fingerprint is used as a robust key identifier

gpg --fingerprint
