 TheyOfHIShirts | Okay, so for Authy, the path is /data/data/com.authy.authy/shared_prefs/com.authy.storage.tokens.authenticator.xml in the current version (2.2.2) of the app. I was able to import my tokens by importing the file at /data/data/com.authy.authy/shared_prefs/com.authy.storage.tokens.authy.xml
For Steam, it looks like they've dropped the .json extension from their SteamGuard files, but they're still in the same directory, /data/data/com.valvesoftware.android.steam.community/files, and it's Steamguard-* as the file name. (My Steam app is version 3.7.2) | 07:54:11 |

| TheyOfHIShirts | Google Authenticator, I had to "cheat" by exporting the thing as a QR code, then taking a screenshot of that code and importing from image into Aegis, but that got all of my Google Authenticator codes in. Duo was just fine, no changes needed there. And that got all of my current MFA tokens into Aegis. Hooray for a single app and some ease of being able to back up and transfer my vault over. | 07:59:56 |
| .. | Great! Now make sure you never lose the Aegis database by mistake. I recommend you spend some evening reading about rclone, which will help you manage multiple cloud storages in an easy way. There's also a FOSS Android client called RoundSync. Storing unencrypted data on Google Drive instances might be too risky, so before setting up a backup strategy you might want to either add a password to the Aegis backup file or/and learn about crypt rclone remotes (like an encrypted catalog in a cloud, accessible like any other only with rclone/rcx, and looking like random folders/files from outside the remote, like in web view of a cloud storage). With RoundSync you can set a recurring backup task and have it copied to the remote once a time/every specified amount of time. Have fun | 14:59:33 |
 Aerion | Cryptomator is also worth looking at if you want to use non-E2EE cloud services such as Google Drive. Or my personal favourite for syncing between devices without having to trust 3rd party cloud services: Syncthing. | 15:07:53 |
| .. | Aerion last time I checked it the Android app was either paid or just bad, I don't remember. That way I found something more independent. From technical side IIRC rclone is less vulnerable to losing all the data in case of some file corruption. In cryptomator you have some kind of an encrypted vault and with rclone a natural structure where each file, folder and name is encrypted individually | 15:16:19 |
| Aerion | It is indeed paid, but I don't mind paying for FOSS if that supports a project that helps protecting our data from the prying eyes of the likes of Google. Whether the technological differences between Cryptomator and rclone matter is for the OP to decide. I'll have a look at rclone myself, sounds interesting. I just thought I mention Cryptomator as an alternative solution to the unencrypted nature of Google Drive et al. | 15:25:54 |

 rune_door | When I first download Aegis APK on my phone it ask me to unlock Vault when I first open it with a password. How do I get to the initial setup of making a vault with my own password? | 21:44:04 |

That sounds like Aegis is detecting prior data somehow. You can try clearing it in the storage section of the app-info menu in Androids settings. | 07:09:13 |
 alexbakker | If this happens, you probably had inclusion of Aegis in Android backups enabled. Every time you reinstall Aegis, Android will restore Aegis' state for you. Clearing storage is indeed the way to go. | 09:58:00 |
|  teardrops12 set their display name to teardrops12. | 11:20:19 |

| rune_door | Can I have Aegis with the same profile on two different devices? | 04:39:30 |
| alexbakker | Yes | 06:26:59 |

| anon6697 | how can I import my tokens to pc? | 03:41:50 |
| anon6697 | I mean authenticator apps in PC | 03:42:11 |
| chaosnicro | In reply to @sdash:matrix.org
I mean authenticator apps in PC You can either use a PC authenticator rhat can import Aegis vaults (like gnome keyring) and import an encrypted Aegis backup or use an unencrypted json backup, which has all the info in plaintext. What PC-authenticator are you trying to use? | 08:50:47 |

| mdv | is there any reason that the app cannot recognise qr codes recently? does the job from a saved picture, but not live for some reason | 18:35:27 |

| alexbakker | @mdv There haven't been any changes related to that recently, but we do receive reports from users every now and then that QR code scanning does not work for them. The cause is not yet known though, unfortunately. It'd be helpful to have an example of the raw YUV data returned by camerax on those devices when trying to scan a QR code | 10:47:23 |
|  düser changed their display name from lvngbythswrd to düser. | 18:52:57 |
|  🏔️hik changed their profile picture. | 22:38:39 |

|  Raghav Gururajan joined the room. | 16:22:40 |
| mdv | so, ive tried reinstalling from google play, and fdroid. they both fail scanning the qr codes, even tho the camera app clearly recognises the code...so ive tried doing the same thing with my tablet, and works like a charm. conclusion: dumbass samsung update once again breaks one of my apps. | 21:01:53 |
| mdv | i wish i had custom rom for my m33 | 21:02:32 |
