Import all (Google) Authenticator 2FAs to 1Password

gabrieljcs

I'm wondering if there's an easy way to automatically import all of my 2FAs from Google Authenticator to 1Password?

I want to get rid of Authenticator but have a bunch of 2FAs there, so it would be quite a pain if I had to set them all up again.

Hi @gabrieljcs, thanks for writing in!

I'm sorry to say there isn't an option to automatically import 2FA codes from Google Authenticator. What I would typically recommend is resetting 2FA for your accounts with 1Password as they come up in day-to-day use, rather than all at once. I find this can be less daunting than going through the whole list at once.

I can certainly understand that this process is not ideal. My apologies for any trouble here. While I can't say if or when a 2FA import feature might be added, I've shared your interest with the team.

Let me know if there's anything I can help with, and thanks again!

@gabrieljcs how many TOTP codes is a bunch?

If it's <10 it's probably worth re-enrolling 2FA on each of those sites. More than that, it may be worth using a workaround.
If you are technically inclined a project like this can convert the Google Authenticator 'Export accounts' QR code.

Or if you're less technically inclined, a better alternative is to download Aegis Authenticator and use it's function that can scan a Google Authenticator 'Export accounts' QR code.

Once you get those TOTP codes into Aegis, you can copy and paste the TOTP seed string straight into 1Password's 'One-Time Password' field for an item (in Aegis: edit item > Advanced > copy the 'seed').
Or you could use Aegis to 'show' the TOTP QR code for that item, and scan it into 1Password using another device's camera (in Aegis: hold down on an item to select it, in top right tap the QR icon).
