Are you using Google Authenticator?
If so, how do you backup your secrets?
- OJFord 2y agoIt does do that similarly to Authy now doesn't it? I saw a thread here recently with people arguing it broke MFA to do so.
- snapplebobapple 2y agoaegis plus syngcthing fork works well
- ascar 2y agoIt has an export function that you can scan from an old phone. And I kept the setup keys in my keepass database. On top of that now Google backs those up for you too.
- alyandon 2y agoI use a self-hosted Bitwarden instance for that kind of stuff and before that I used Aegis + Synchthing.
- radeeyate 2y agoGoogle already automatically backs up secrets to your Google Account

- hulitu 2y agoThis is industry standard now. "Your security is very important for _us_". (and for the companies they work with, and for the 3 letter agencies they work with)
- bdavbdav 2y agoPlenty of TOTP apps that sync (including google)
