3 years agoExport OTPs grom Mobile authenticators to 1P?
A question, which I imagine has been asked before. I come to 1Password having dozens of 2FAs saved on an authenticator app on my phone: you all know how tedious it is to go through the whole process ...

3 years agoThanks for following up with me @vapre. While I can't make any promises about the development of 1Password, I've shared the request with the team.
I did a little poking around with Aegis and found that you can export the vault as an unencrypted JSON or text file. I'll note that unencrypted files are stored in plaintext. Anyone with access to your exported data files will be able to read the contained information and potentially access your 2FA codes.
While it's certainly not a clean import process, secrets (highlighted in my example below) can be copied from the exported files to one-time password fields in related 1Password items. From my limited testing, the 2FA codes synced up once the item was saved in 1Password.
I'll note again that unencrypted files from Aegis can be accessed by anyone. If this is something you've tried yourself do not email exported data files or store them online. Delete them when you are done with them.
Let me know if there's anything else I can help with!
