All it takes is someone getting into your Authy account to gain access to all of your keys... not a good idea at all.
As for the SMS fees, we can’t really tell for sure (and please, let’s not make assumptions here) as to whether those will be free or not. Obviously sending normal sms messages would cost money... but these are the 2FA codes being sent around, and I’m sure there’s a service dedicated for that which won’t charge for a small forum.
Authy doesn't allow you to log in with your email and password, but rather with OTP authentication sent to the account's telephone number!
And you need the master password that you created to restore the configuration you made before!
And if you don't like Cloud storage because it's less secure!
Use Aegis, they have a backup feature that you can use!
And you can restore it to another device if needed!
