I remembered the following thread from exactly a year ago. Is this still valid?

How can I backup existing tokens in order to later add them (e.g., on

Is there a way to restore the tokens other than manually entering the
info?


On iOS, this is handled transparently by iTunes.

On Android, you can use the adb command on your computer.

Connect your phone and run:
# adb backup -f freeotp.bak org.fedorahosted.freeotp

That will store the FreeOTP data to the file freeotp.bak. To restore
this data, just run:
# adb restore freeotp.bak

Note, that during this process, Android will ask you if you wish to
encrypt your backup. Doing this is *highly* recommended. Otherwise, an
attacker could read your token data in plain text.

Adding your keys to FreeOTP on a replacement or additional device can be quite cumbersome. It would require contacting many of the services to set up new keys, which in turn would require verifying your identity for each of those services.

To guard against the keys being stolen, the backup could be encrypted with a key from AGP or OpenKeychain (Android). Thus, backup and restore would require the key - if possible, FreeOTP could be made to require that the chosen key have a passphrase.
