Currently using Authy. Any way to migrate my keys in bulk?


If you have root access, yes.[1] Otherwise no, sadly. One of the reasons I moved off Authy before it got worse.

There is a workaround using the Authy Desktop app but I have no idea if it works.[2]

Done, migrated 40 accounts to Aegis.

As I see, it backs up to the internal storage, so I have to use another app to sync the backup to a cloud of my choice

You can select Google Drive/Dropbox when backing up the vault.

One of the authors here.

Unfortunately, Google Drive and Dropbox only partially participate in Android's Storage Access Framework. In Aegis, exporting only requires the creation of a file, so that works with both. Configuring backups on the other hand requires selecting a folder, but most cloud providers don't support that. A notable exception is Nextcloud.


How about cloud paas providers like AWS? The user could generate a IAM access key with permissions to manage a specific bucket and configure Aegis with the key. Aegis would use the cloud Api to upload the backup.

If that is of interest, I could help implement that.


doesn't seem to show for me, only internal space. I have no idea why.

edit: this is not released yet, I think


Might have a solution for you here:

commented on my question with a snipped I wrote based on that extraction method from authy. The code generates a Aegis compatible database instead of printing QR codes


in response to myself, I created a snippet to generate a database in bulk from authy.

follow: https://gist.github.com/gboudreau/94bb0c11a6209c82418d01a59d...

But change the code with:
