Damn, this was going to be my workaround for using authy now they're discontinuing the desktop app inexplicably.

You could use BlueStacks. It's a bit ad laiden, but it's not bad.

Hard disagree. They (and most other Android emus) are sketchy as hell, I believe using them for anything authentication related would be dangerous

Your point is so good that I down voted MYSELF. Thanks! I may stop using it now. I used it back when it felt more unshitty, but it's crept shittier and shittier and it does feel super sketchy now.
