That is why I use a TOTP app that lets me export an encrypted copy of the TOTP secrets. I also have a printed-out copy of the secrets stored in a secure location, which I update monthly for new accounts I add in. Prior to that when I was just using Google Authenticator I would record the TOTP secret prior to importing it into the app.
- nerdponx 5y agoWhat TOTP app do you use, and what format do you print the secrets in? I currently use "OTP Auth" for iOS, which supports backup and encrypted cloud sync, but I'm not sure if that supports something like "export to a text file".
- nh2 5y agoOn Android, andOTP is good. It is open source, maintained, easy to use, can do backups and re-present the QR code so you can easily scan it with another device. https://github.com/andOTP/andOTP https://github.com/andOTP/andOTP
