   Thanks for sharing these! BIMI + VMC seems like an expensive workaround, we'll first experiment with your first two recommendations. We'll also have to figure out a way to reset the score with Gmail. Hopefully they haven't pe

   Yes, you can. Ente Auth backs up your codes, end-to-end encrypted. You can access your data on any device, at any time with your email address and password (/recovery key).

   There is no universally agreed upon format for bulk imports. We've adopted one that we found to be used by a few other apps - a plain text file with otpauth:// URIs separated by a newline.

   Thanks! But this method requires Authy's Desktop client, which is unfortunately unavailable at this point. Also, if this comment[1] is right, API access has also been broken. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40

   We have intentionally opted out of this[1][2] for now, since we did not want to create a dependency on iCloud for backups. So if you purchase a new device, you will either have to sign in to Ente Auth again (for E2EE sync), or export your c

    fwiw, Ente's Auth works fully offline. E2EE backups / account creation is optional. If you have an RPi that is accessible over a network, you could self host it as well: https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/

    Hey, would you mind sharing how you exported your codes out of Authy?

    Hey, you can migrate your data in bulk to a plain text / encrypted[1] file. There is also an option to view / export individual QR codes. Let me know what we could do better, would love to do better. [1]: https://help.e

    That's unfortunate, thanks for letting me know. I'm currently unable to find a straight forward way of getting data out of Authy, will bump up this thread when I do.

    Screenshots look cool! It'd be great if you could create a README.md with instructions to build the project (and screenshots if possible!)

    With Ente Auth you can assign tags to a code, and use them as a filter. You can also pin your favorite codes to the top.

    Hello, one of the folks working on Ente Auth here. Thanks for putting us on the frontpage! To give some context, we built Auth for ourselves because we wanted a product that was cross-platform, open source[1] and offered end-to-end encrypte

    Like a sibling comment mentioned, unlike Authy, you can easily export your data[1] from Ente. Also, Ente is fully open-source[2]. If you wish, you can self-host the service and point the app your custom server[3]. [1]: https://he

    Thank you! Apps like Auth are a great fit for Flutter, where desktop support is nice to have. We're also using Flutter for our Photos[1] app, and it has served us well so far. Wherever necessary (cryptography, ML, transcoding, ...), we

    Yes, you can do just that. If you're using our mobile app, you can grant permissions to access specific images (instead of the whole gallery), and configure Ente to just back those up. Once they've been backed up, you can create a

    Hey, we're building Ente[1] as an end-to-end encrypted alternative to Google Photos. If it helps, Ente has been previously discussed on HN[2][3]. To answer your questions, we support imports from Google Takeout[4], and we stitch togeth
