"I didn't even know there was an Authy desktop app until then. It saved my ass, literally."

That's a really unexpected outcome - can you provide any details ?

I installed Authy desktop, logged in and it retrieved my tokens form the cloud. Not anything else to it.

Pretty sure they're referring to the word 'literally'. Especially since it's by itself after a comma, looks like there's emphasis on it.

That word changes the meaning of the phrase in front of it quite a bit.

I am literally never going to stop misusing this word.
