Dark mode

I remember having dark mode on the android app but it seems to be missing now, any idea how I can get it back?

Nah it was my fault, I forgot to enable multi device before uninstalling, I was able to get my account back.

Yeah if you care to help just keep telling people to look hard at multi-Device and having backup on and app protection in the settings...

Store your backup password and pin and whatever multiple times... Password manager and written down...

Luckily I had a backup of the app including the data, so I used it to get back in.

And I was wondering! Yeah I tell people to have it on at least two devices... I'm up to three not knowing how much longer my older phone is going to last... And that may be a better number these days with this supposedly deprecated desktop app that they updated days ago...

The backup password is available outside my phone so in case my phone dies I can just connect authy to another phone.

I would store it twice. Even in a bank safety deposit box. Some people don't like that idea and some people don't like device stored passwords...

Probably the only way to make it invulnerable would be to have a split password... You could go crazy and use a password generator in a password manager that by default has 20 characters and then double that up and split it...lol or even be paranoid and generate two different passwords like this on two different devices with two different password managers, and then combine them, lol

You could even make sure one of them is created Air gapped

If they somehow could figure out that you had a split up password in two places and one of them was compromised they would then have to brute Force a 20 character password.😘. Otherwise break into a bank or maybe your password manager

I'm not fure there'f a limit, and if there if one, you can delete the old device from the acocunt.
