    Spent about 3 hours unfucking my 2FA TOTP situation. Happily done with Authy. Should have dumped it ages ago. Saved screenshots of all my QR codes in a safe place so I can use new apps if needed (or if I lose my phone). Primarily using BitWarden for now.

      You can translate those QR codes into the base seeds that were used to generate them. Then you can just save a text file with all those seeds. I’ve done it using a phone camera to open to a web browser and extracting the seed from the translated URL, but IDK if it can still be tricked into opening the code that way.

      I hope this unasked for advice helps.

        Thanks! It’s a good idea. What I ended up doing was importing them all into BitWarden Authenticator, then exporting them as a json file. I have not look at the json file in detail yet, but I am assuming the seeds are in there.
