According to Authy, you need to disable the multi-device feature one you have installed authy in your device/s, to prevent more devices from being added (i.e. a swim-swapped device).
Yes, but the multi-device feature is turned on by default right? Chances are that the casual Authy user doesn't know the potential problems that could be had with that feature being turned on.

If however your associated email is also compromised, then there is a window of vulnerability past 24 hours of attempting to recover the account through email.
While that's great, I don't think it's enough to be honest. If an email gets compromised, it could also take a lot of effort to recover the email. Jeebus I remember the last time I tried to recover my old gmail account.
