And you can be sure Authy is secure because it uses SMS to confirm the identity of the user before the client can download the passphrase protected database!
Oh wait, what was this article talking about again?
That said, Authy is pretty convenient for most users as far as backups are concerned, and I'd imagine its at least as secure as storing the database in iCloud/Google Drive. They at least do ensure two factors (albeit a soon-to-be deprecated SMS factor) to get the raw data.
