For those of you (like me) that are moving away from Google apps, you might like Ente Auth (vs. Google Authenticator)

• Open source 2FA authenticator, with end-to-end encrypted backups.

• Auth provides end-to-end encrypted cloud backups so you don't have to worry about losing your tokens. Our cryptography has been externally audited.

• Auth has an app for every platform. Mobile, desktop and web. Your codes sync across all your devices, end-to-end encrypted.

Here's a migration tip honed from my recent experience:

1. Don't use the Google export function, instead...

2. Make note of all of the websites/apps that are listed within your current Google's Authenticator app.

3. Download the Ente Auth app to your phone.

4. Go to each website you noted, log in, go to your settings, select remove 2FA, then immediately RE-ACTIVATE 2FA on that same site. This will prompt you to scan a QR Code.

5. Open up Ente's Auth app, select the +sign AND SCAN this new QR Code adding it now to Ente Auth.

6. Then you can go back and delete each of the Google Authenticator entries and uninstall their app.
