There is no options for Authy setup. What am I doing wrong here? When I went the GA route and inputed my Authy info, I get the error message "Binding failed"

OP again. I am trying to load Authy into my binance account and it looks like it only uses Google Authenticator??
There is no options for Authy setup. What am I doing wrong here? When I went the GA route and inputed my Authy info, I get the error message "Binding failed"

I think a standalone app would be much better and also having it on multiple devices. Encrypted with a master password of course.
Why settle for GA when you can use Authy, I use GA before and when my friend lost his phone and got broke, good thing binance support is very responsive and got the account back. This is what I'm afraid of, to lose access to sites that I often use.
In GA there's no recovery back up but in Authy can encrypt a back up in the cloud so if you lost your phone you can still access those authy accounts from other device.
Really confused what to do now.
If I lose my phone my Binance account is not accessible???
Read all the suggestions and don't forget to use google. If I lose my phone my Binance account is not accessible?
??If you have a computer you can also access it so even if you lose your phone, there's no problem with that.
I have my 2FA sync in my computer so everytime I add 2FA in any of my accounts online, it will reflect to my other device.
Here's a complete guide you can follow that I saw in the net using google - https://authy.com/guides/binance/
GA doesn't feature any backup though so the moment you lose your phone, you're screwed.
So, if I lost my phone, I still have another option which is my PC.

Well... if you are looking for security, I would really advise against using this or any other 2FA extension. It's not only very insecure as any virus can get your extension data files/2FA secret codes, but it's also useless if you are using in the same computer as you're typing the password. What is the point of 2FA if it's not really a 2-factor-authentication?https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/authenticator/bhghoamapcdpbohphigoooaddinpkbai?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon

If all you want is a quick 2FA for services that require one (and you don't want to bother with it), then it's probably fine.

Access binance then go to account settings, locate security to find enable 2FA then copy the 16 digit code then save a back up or write it on a piece of paper then go to authy press the button near the magnifying glass and press add account, Scan QR code or enter key manually (key=16 digits) then press Okay.
Yup if you are lazy and careless you are screwed. Just as you are setting up your 2FA, They provide recovery codes but people always ignore the code. They come in handy when you need to recovery your account if you have lost your phone.
I have a bunch of sites and now you mentioned it, I better go locate those backup codes now!
GA doesn't feature any backup though so the moment you lose your phone, you're screwed.

Whatever apps that you choose, just keep in mind that there's a risk you'll lose your device. It should be better to keep the backup offline, even though you already use Authy. Store it in a safe place where you're the only one who knows about it. Better safe than sorry.
I agree with your idea but this could probably help for those who really wants to be more secured to their accounts. The reason why we need to used 2FA authentication because it is reliable and also only you can access in your account Really confused what to do now.

You have been giving relevant suggestions already I don't see any use of your confusion.If I lose my phone my Binance account is not accessible?
??Did you not open your binance account with an email or something for verification. If you have your password and your phone is backed up then I think you would be fine

I am setting upp Google Auth for my Binance account.
How does this thing work?
I put in my email address
It makes a code in blue and flashed red colored.
What next?
Where do I input the code?

After you save the changes, you will type the renewed codes every 30 seconds in the program after the password each time you login to Binance. But, definitely save the recovery password somewhere. Because when you change the device and in other cases it will be necessary.

??First you need to read the rules carefully when using 2FA security, you must backup your private key to avoid losing your phone. In case you lose your phone you can still reinstall 2FA when you have private key, you can also backup to many different phones. I also use Binance which is very safe and easy to use 2FA security with Google Authentiacor. You should know how to use it before setting up.

??You should use Authy instead as that backups to the cloud and lets you move to another device or even the PC using a Chromium based browser.
If you insist on using GA, you must be aware that, there is a 16 char "key" which is shown before activation, that's your only backup, and has to be done for each and every site you enable 2fa.
While some sites allow to "reset" or turn off 2fa, some don't (or require the 2fa code to deactivate). It is quite possible to lose access to your account if your phone with GA is lost.
Any site what mentions "2fa" can be used with Authy, even if the instructions say "Google Authenticator".
It is impossible to backup GA database without rooting your phone.

As long as your careful with its details and make sure you alone handles your phone, I do not think you should be having any problem using it. I am about a 3
It's a feature everyone should have, at least anyone who takes security very serious.
Make sure your careful and not careless with your phone after you must have enabled this
Spread your codes also, so should incase something happens,you will be able to retrieve
