Privacy GuidesPSA: If you're still using #Raivo 2FA on iOS back up your data immediately and do not update to the latest version.
As we suspected would happen when they were acquired last year, the new owners of the app have pivoted to a forced subscription model and updating to the new version will delete all your TOTP codes! https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/psa-export-your-keys-before-updating-raivo-otp-to-the-latest-1-6-version/18602
We recommend switching to Ente Auth, which can be used completely locally or with @ente's end-to-end encrypted cloud backups.
PSA: Export your keys before updating Raivo OTP to the latest 1.6 version
Be careful as you might lose all your keys if you update Raivo to the latest 1.6 version without backing up your keys before when not using an online sync. The latest version shadow dropped a subscription model that requires the user to setup the entire account again, and the restore functionality seems to be exclusive to subscribers only. I don’t know if this was all according to plan but I think it’s time to give that Bitwarden Authenticator a go now. Edit: Adding link to the GitHub Issues ...
The monkey in the cornerPor si a alguien le ha pasado y, como yo, ha tenido la suerte de leer el aviso de exportar sus códigos antes de actualizar: incluso reinstalando la app en iOS no funciona. He decidido mover los códigos a @ente y creo que aquí me quedaré después de los últimos líos que ha hubo con Raivo (os animo a leer su repo de GitHub) #Raivo #RaivoOTP
Oscar Cubo Medina@heyazorin @iam @aperalesf Para tener la foto completa y que ayude a la decisión https://www.brycewray.com/posts/2023/07/from-raivo-otp-to-2fas/ Desde esas fechas #RaivoOTP usa una licencia propia (https://github.com/raivo-otp/marketing-website/blob/master/LICENSE.md).
Mg. TauFor anyone using #Raivo OTP: I've just found out the developer sold it to a sketchy company. The application was not updated since then, but, as iPhone does not allow pinning to a specific application version AFAIK, I've decided to switch to Ente, which is open-source and secure enough as well (it requires an account for backing up to their cloud, but everything is locally encrypted). Not sure if it's the best solution, but that's the status quo.
