[feature] Option to export backup without encryption #294
Comments
The same problem. |
It will be good workaround for issue #283 since it's just in some cases impossible to move 2FA-keys from old phone to new ones. |
@justin-stephenson Ability to export to plain text/XML/etc. is important, as it allows users to import data elsewhere. I want to move to another OTP app, but my data is being held hostage. |
Hi, likely you'll not be able to export your keys without encryption from it. So that's the point to think, maybe it's worth to re-create all 2FA keys? FreeOTP+ fork can import/export keys to regular JSON file, I was using it since this year spring and have a hassle-free experience |
Can FreeOTP+ import encrypted backups from FreeOTP? If not, it's not useful to me. I want to move to Aegis. |
Reasoning/story:
I've always just transferred my tokens using adb in the past and with the new version with ability to backup
and restore I decided it was time to also have an older phone with the same tokens ready just in case I ever
lose my main phone. So I did the migration and entered a password, had it written down then exported the
file and loaded on a much older phone (oneplus one, running LineageOS with Android 11). The restore
didn't work, complained of invalid password. That phone doesn't have Google to use the backup/restore and
fdroid has an older version (24) and the new phone is (40), so I got the 40 apk and installed on the old phone
just in case it was a version issue. It was not.
Actual feature:
Since apparently I managed to type twice a password that is different than the one I wrote down (go figure)
and using adb to backup/restore is not an option anymore, is there a chance to add an option to export the
tokens without encryption (and yes, I'm fully aware of the security risks)? I have a guess that it'd be easier to
implement than allowing to change the password the user picked after a warning you can't change it later.
