I am currently on 2fas offline after RaivoOTP’s hostile take over, tho I am still a bit worried, because RaivoOTP is not fully open source and the fact that the developer lacks communication made me lost 100% trust so my question is, do I need to do anything after changing my 2fa app? Are my 2fa ke…

The (former) developer doesn’t lack communication, at all. The new owners do. It’s a bit different. The app didn’t had any update since the takeover, so I think the trust you had still applies here, today. You can move on (like I did), but I don’t see a reason for fear mongering right now. Just u…

Raivo still needs to have your password to do a full compromise. You can change passwords as you use your account, if you feel the need for it and for your sanity’s sake.

Well i do not agree. Tijme basically didn’t respond for ages either and his answer were pretty lame and easy. It was his call to sell the app, it doesn’t just free you from responsibility

You make so many assumptions I cannot even count them. I do think you have responsibility as a product owner to make sure it turned over to a good company that takes care of it well and that you make good arrangements on the communication of such takeover. Clearly neither of that happend. It would…

As for now I am currently using 2FAs with the coud sync off, because I personally don’t like my seeds to be online My thought is that because I use Raivo months before the acquisition, so the master password is safe? I don’t think there’s a way to reverse the encryption even if Mobime decides to ch…

I don’t think there is much risk. But they obviously could make a malicious version of the app that syncs it unencryptedly. That’s why we do not want to use an app of a non trusted body.
