Authenticator Exporter Launches on Google Play
Authenticator Exporter is now available on Google Play. It solves one specific, sharp-edged problem: Google Authenticator exports your 2FA accounts as a series of QR codes in a proprietary, protobuf-encoded format that standard QR scanners can’t read. If you lose your phone, delete the app, or switch devices without saving those codes somewhere durable, the accounts they protect are gone.
What it does
- Scans and decodes Google Authenticator’s “Transfer accounts” export QR codes, via the camera or by importing screenshots from your photo library
- Stores every account on-device — metadata (name, issuer, type, algorithm, digits) in SQLite, and the secret key in the platform secure enclave (Android EncryptedSharedPreferences)
- Re-exports at any time as a fresh set of scannable QR codes, so you can recover into Google Authenticator, Aegis, 2FAS, or any other app that reads the same transfer format
- Full account detail on tap — every field, including the raw secret, is one tap from your clipboard
- Search across all your accounts by name or issuer
Free to browse, subscription to import
Browsing your account list, viewing full account details, copying fields, and exporting QR codes are free, permanently. Importing new codes — the camera scan and gallery import flows — requires an active subscription: $3.99/month or $24.99/year, with a 3-day free trial.
Fully offline
Nothing about this app talks to a server. Decoding happens entirely on-device, nothing is transmitted anywhere, and there’s no account to sign into. That’s a deliberate constraint, not a missing feature — the whole point is that your 2FA secrets never leave your device.
