Importing 2FA from Google Authenticator
matyasrichter
Hi!
This is a feature request for something I've come across recently.
Google's Authenticator app allows users to export and import their 2fa keys. It provides a QR code that is to be scanned by the same app on another device. The issue is, the string in this key isn't the standard "otpauth://totp/..." format, but rather a proprietary base64-encoded protobuf payload. It's still possible to decode this for importing it to 1Password, example "rev-engineered" implementation can be found in this repo: https://github.com/scito/extract_otp_secret_keys
Would it be possible to support this natively within 1Password in the future, so that we don't have to rely on a third party tool to migrate accounts to 1P?
All the best,
Matyas

Hey @matyasrichter:
Thanks for your feedback here! While I can't promise anything I can definitely see how it would be handy to import all of your one-time passwords from Google Authenticator. I've added your input to a feature request we have on the topic. Be sure to get in touch if you need anything in the future!
