This looks good, as I wanted to "escape" the Authy jail (you cannot easly move out with your secrets), but moving a lot of 2fa's to a "new thing". How to make sure they are a good project?



Like a sibling comment mentioned, unlike Authy, you can easily export your data[1] from Ente.

Also, Ente is fully open-source[2]. If you wish, you can self-host the service and point the app your custom server[3].

You can't but they should be better than Authy, at least they have export options...


I was hoping for allow importing Authy secrets, has anyone sucessfully "taken" the backup out of the app and imported in other tool. As security measure the secrets only live in Authy, but thats when I cannot move out when I want.


Ente has an Authy export guide. https://help.ente.io/auth/migration-guides/authy/

You don't even need to have Authy installed. The script pretends to be a new device and gets the keys from your backup. (You might need to run chmod +x for execute permission)
