#Accessibility fail: Authy (2FA app) update replaced service names with logos, which are quite small. Can't zoom in the app and taking a screenshot failed, probably some security measure. I had to get a physical magnifying glass and in some cases look up services to check logo plausibility. Then I edited the strings to insert the service names. This should not have been that hard! And now I wonder how the blind do 2FA; will an app that impedes visual access work with a screen reader?
